A member asked:

I found my right abdomen is larger than my lefside. sometime i feel distention,heavy on my right upper abdomen. should i worry about it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Examination: Both sides of body can be a little different from each other. But since you feel distension, get examined. That will help to know if it is just normal for you or something more needs to be done.
