Diagnosing the cause of bloating involves a combination of medical history, physical examination, and diagnostic tests. Your healthcare provider may recommend:
Blood Tests to check for markers indicative of cancer. Imaging Studies such as ultrasound, CT scans, or MRI to visualize any tumors or fluid accumulation. Endoscopic Procedures like colonoscopy or gastroscopy to directly view the inside of the gastrointestinal tract. Biopsies to confirm the presence of cancer cells.
