Hi i seem to be gaining weight and when I move a certain way I could feel like a ball in the lower left side of my abdomen, my stomach seems to be unusually big but I m very active and I do get my period every month but only for one or two days, so what do you think is going on?

Hi ! Good morning. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

If I were your doctor, after an initial personal clinical assessment of your abdomen, I would advise you for an ultrasound of the abdomen to rule out any pathology of the intra-abdominal/intra pelvic organs. I would also go for a thyroid function test as you are gaining weight. Further management would depend on the results of the investigations. Till then, you could add daily routine exercises like a morning walk or jogging depending on your medical fitness.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
