Fullness in the abdomen is a condition in which a person feels discomfort and pressure in the abdomen, often despite eating a small amount of food. This may indicate digestive problems, such as slow intestinal peristalsis, indigestion, or irritable bowel syndrome. It can also happen in pancreatitis.
This feeling often occurs after meals, but can also occur as a result of gas accumulation in the intestines, food intolerances, or functional disorders of the digestive tract.
Medications for indigestion and digestive problems often help alleviate these symptoms. Additionally, the sensation of fullness may be linked to factors such as stress, a lack of physical activity, or an unhealthy eating. In some cases, it could signal more complex health issues that necessitate consulting a doctor.
