Left lower abdominal distension often times is the result of constipation. The fecal material backs up into the ascending colon causing distension. I the absence of constipation, there could be diverticuli, a weakening in the colon wall causing a "pouch to form.

Abdominal distension after surgery?

related to herniaDrainage lines inserted during surgery may result in abdominal hernia similar to inguinal hernia (much lower on the torso) in treatment. The gap in the muscle tissue is reinforced with fabric. This requires a surgical procedure and suspension of strenuous activities for a few weeks. Related to Abdominal Surgery (colectomy in this case)Abdominal surgery causes reduction in peristalsis because it usually involves handling the bowels manually - this is the natural response of the bowels, to stop peristalsis. Consequently, gases and fluids accumulate and stretch out the lower bowels (referring to colectomy in this case) which causes the muscles to weaken and so peristalsis cannot continue as normal - this allows more gases to accumulate. In effect, all the accumulated gases causes distension of the abdomen. one way to prevent this is using a nasogastric tube to suction out stomach fluids and gases soon after surgery.

What are the Symptoms of an abdominal hernia?

The first signs of Abdominal Hernia occur with a bulge often represented with swelling on the abdomen area where the hernia would possibly occur. In some cases the hernia in abdomen would be unrecognizable and at times could be asymptomatic. During daily activities such as lifting, coughing, exercise and other movements the abdomen would get a lot of pressure which would result in the contents pushed to the gap of the abdominal cavity which increase the size of the bulge. Impotence in males is also common with abdominal gernia and in females, painful intercourse is seen as a symptom of abdominal hernia. This will result in inflammation in the bulge area.
