For the last couple weeks I have been feeling increasing pressure in my abdomen--my stomach feels bloated below my rib cage, sometimes down to my belt line. And I've been feeling pain at the bottom of my rib cage frequently. Heat helps. Laying down helps. Could symptoms of an STD be part of this? I had a low-risk encounter (oral sex) a couple months ago, but no other symptoms.
Hi, Welcome to HCM. From your question, I am not able to understand about your age, sex, marital status and the type of oral sex{male to male,male to female(felatio),(cunnilingus) or (anilingus)}. STD will not be the cause for your feeling of bloated abdomen. At the same time certain types of oral contact can cause feco-oral contamination with pathogens spreading through this feco-oral contamination. So more details will throw light on your problem. Anyhow consult a physician and get well soon. Dr S.Murugan
