Abdominal distension refers to the swelling of the abdomen. The distension may be caused by either air (gas) or fluid collection. The accumulated substance causes an outward expansion of the stomach and waist beyond normal proportions.
Finally, any increase in the volume between the inner and the outer tube, such as fluid accumulation due to certain conditions such as congestive heart failure or kidney disease where fluid accumulates in the abdomen and legs, can cause bloating with or without distension, or even distension with or without bloating.
