A member asked:
Are there diseases that cause an enlarged stomach? i'm not talking about bloating or abdominal distention, i'm talking about the organ itself.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pyloric obstruction: Anything that blocks the outflow of the stomach through the pylorus will cause the stomach to distend. The most common cause of this in adults is a peptic ulcer. Newborns with pyloric hypertrophy also have outflow obstruction and an enlarged stomach.
