A member asked:

The past month, i exercise and eat healthy and my stomach got bigger(not pregnant) what causes abdominal enlargement? also lower back pain and fatigue

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Check your weight: If you are not gaining weight from eating too much food, You may be overexerting and getting a six pack of abdominal muscles. Be sure to check with a trainer that you are balancing exercises and stretch afterwards. Good to get examined if no improvement. A sonogram could check for an ovarian cyst.
