Abdomen Protruding, Undergone Several Surgeries, Mesh Inserted Under Navel. Family History Of Colon Cancer. Possible Cause?
I have a protruding abdomen which has been getting bigger with the passing years. I am a 63 year old female and moderately active, I don't drink but I do look like I am 9 months pregnant. My weight has not increased but the size of my abdomen has. I have had several abdominal surgeries and have had a mesh inserted under my navel. I would really like to know what is causing this. There is a history of colon cancer in my family. Would this cause this increase in size?

HI
Thank fro choosing HCM
For sure this not a colon cancer even if you have colon cancer family history, the protuberance of belly is kind of obesity and this is due to genetic defect ( Mutation of specific gene ), only thing you can do right now just to control it, reduce the high calorie diet do regular exercise under guidance of physiotherapist or instructor, this may help you a little, Have good day.
