What Causes Pain On Sides Of Abdomen And Distension In Stomach?
Although, I am a little over weight, my stomach has become hard and distended. My belly button has almost disappeared. I have noticed when I turn over in bed at night my stomach contorts into a lateral hard shape? I have intermittent pain on both sides of my abdomen.

Hi!
Pain on both sides of the abdomen with distension,pain and a disappeared naevus(belly button) indicates ascites which may be due to prolonged overconsumption of alcohol or some kind of tumour inside the abdomen.
You must get an ultrasound done and consult a general surgeon.
In the meanwhile you can take anti-acid medication like omeprazole 20mg once daily.
Thanks!
