Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yoi are having gradual distention of abdomen.
This is commonly seen with ascites (fluid into abdomen), intestinal tumour, intestinal obstruction etc.
Ultrasound test will tell if there is ascites or obstruction.
Colonoscopy will tell if there is tumour.
So get done these tests to diagnose the cause.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
