Swollen Lower Abdomen After Eating But My Pregnancy Test Is Negative

At the moment im taking birth control pills and when i did a pregnancy test it came up negative. I did have chest pain for a few days but that stopped.

Hi,
there are many causes of a swollen abdomen. In your case it could be from inflammation of gall bladder, which is common in women on birth control pills. Its recommended that you undergo an ultrasound scan of abdomen to rule out the same. chest pain could be due to gastritis.Hope that answers the question.

hello
your symptoms are going more in favour of pelvic inflammatory disease.
it can be bacterial in origin.
your upper abdominal pain may be due to the gastritis or can be a disease known as gastro esophageal reflux disease.
your symptoms are vague and it can be confirmed to doing blood tests and ultrasounds to rule out the same.
i would advise you to consult a gynaecologist and a gastroenterologist for the obove complaints
i hope i have answered your question
