Experiencing Bloating And Hardening Of Stomach. What Does These Symptoms Indicate?

I'm a 59 yr. old male. The past few months I have been experiencing extreme bloating and acute hardening of the stomach. I have some pain in the right lower groin area. My PSA reading was normal in Nov. 2012. This of course has been very uncomfortable when it occurs. Sometimes it feels like my bladder is not totally emptying. Your comments ASAP would most appreciated. Thank you. I'm inquiring about these symptoms for my husband.

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H. C. M. Forum.
There are two different type of symptoms are present in your husband.
Bloating and hardening in the stomach are related to each other and reasons are ,
Hyper acidity,
gastritis,
hypertension,
stress,
anxiety,
So for this you have to consult a physician and get in complete examination as well treatment.
Right side groin pain and urgency ( delay in emptying of bladder) of urine may relate to each other , but not necessary.
Bladder not emptying means there is residual urine in bladder and at this 59 years age this is due to enlargement of prostate ( ultrasound of prostate is advised).
Pain in right groin may be due to prostate or urinary tract infection or stone in urinary rout.
Consult a physician/ surgeon and get in their opinion as board of doctors.
Hope this information will help you.
Good luck.
