​Why is my stomach so hard when I press it

Some people often find that their stomachs are hard when they press them, and they don’t know whether this is normal. Sometimes a hard stomach will return to normal after a period of time, but sometimes it will remain hard and make people feel very uncomfortable. So what exactly is going on when you press your stomach and it feels hard? Could it be a symptom of some disease? Let’s talk about it together below.

In medicine, sometimes women have a small belly or even a hard belly. This is not actually caused by fat. You should be alert to the possibility of uterine disease. A hard "belly" may be telling you that you have uterine fibroids. Of course, if the fibroids are small in number and size, they can be controlled by taking medicine, but if the fibroids are large enough, surgical removal must be chosen. It is very important for female friends to discover their physical condition as early as possible.

Usually, if the belly is caused by fat accumulation, the flesh will feel soft to the touch, but if it is a uterine fibroid, it will feel very hard, especially in the early morning when the stomach is empty and the bladder is full. It is often most obvious and the patient can easily feel the lump. This appearance shows that the uterine fibroids have grown larger, some even growing to the level of the belly button. Many asymptomatic uterine fibroids cannot be seen from the outside, so just looking at the "little belly" is not safe.

It is recommended that women empty their bowels and bladder on an empty stomach when they wake up in the morning, lie on their back in bed with their hips and knees bent, relax their abdomen, and use their fingertips to press various parts of the abdomen, especially the sides, and carefully feel for any lumps. If you do this kind of self-examination regularly, you can detect tumors at an early stage.

Therefore, if a woman feels that her lower abdomen is hard, she must pay more attention. If it has been a long time, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination in time to prevent your disease from having more serious problems. It will be more difficult to treat it at this time.
