i was masturbating and i'm scared a little because after this i have"pregnant stomach " actually i don't think i'm pregnant because i don't have any boyfriend or something else like this. can it be gastroenterology problem because i don't eat healt?

Accepted Answer

: You may merely have swallowed a lot of air during masturbation resulting in intestinal bloating from gas accumulation. If you're able to pass the gas rectally and don't have such bloating or other digestive problems frequently, apart from the masturbation episode, I don't think you have a significant GI issue or need to consult a gastroenterologist.
