WHY does my BELLY look PREGNANT?!?!?

Question:

I'm 6 ft 2 in and I weigh 180. I'm in very good shape; I lift weights, swim regularly, run, etc. I eat healthy, don't have sex, and am in very good health. But my belly is VERY round and hard, and my belly button is nearly inside out. It's grown over the past 2 years, despite all my efforts to gain a flat abdomen. I know that I am not pregnant. And I know it's not a tumor, because I have seen a doctor for both of these. There's also no build up of fluid in my belly either. If I were to put a month on it, I would say that I look a good 8 months pregnant. On top of this, it's not exactly able to be sucked in, you know. Any ideas?

Nah, you're just a typical fatty

Your doctor needs to give you a reason as to why this is happening...I would get a second opinion...

hmm i knew a friend that was in shape like you and still had a belly. turns out she had intestinal parasites. i dont wish that on anyone but just an idea

Not to alarm you, my mother had the same thing. Hers was to to am enlarged liver (which the doctors kept overlooking)
I hope it all works out for you!

Has your doctor checked you for cysts...?

I know someone who had a cyst in her lower abdomen that was larger than a volleyball by the time she had it removed, so I would really suggest having this looked at.

Your doctor should be able to give you an explanation of this, and if he/she won't, I would get a new doctor and try to get this resolved as quickly as possible.

Sounds like it is just your body shape then. Concentrate on situps, everyday!

For your height and weight, under normal circumstances, you should have a flat abdomen. If I were you, I'd get a second, third, fourth, etc. opinion until a doctor told me exactly what was wrong and how to fix it.

Check the food your eating... I was like that for about a year because i didn't know I was lactose intolerant.

maybe it's from growth hormone and steroid abuse

I wish you'd said your age. It seems logical to me that you need a colon cleanse. I am doing one now. For some people it reduces their belly by inches plus makes them feel much better.
The other possibility is that some people are 'football player' shaped, heridity. And they are more prone to high blood pressure, heart problems, and diabetes due to this inherited body shape. What a drag. I too have a layer of inches of belly. My tummy crams my pants all day every day. I am jealous of mens pants that fit at hip. Womens pants only just recently came out as hip pants, but at 54, I don't really want to show my belly button either. I too exercise and eat properly.

it is better for urs to marry someones or sex regularly at different
style as doing sex is a better exercise .it would be a tough job to reduce ur abdomen without any exercising.so go ahead with better exercise and better advice from different person.
