What Causes Pain And Swelling In The Abdomen?

My abdominal area is sore and I believe swollen. It hurts to touch, but does not hurt as long as I don t bend over. I may have done some ab exercises last Thursday that caused this, but I am not sure. I don t believe I have had fever, no constipation, no diarrhea, no bleeding and no bruising.

Hi,

In absence of any digestive complaints,nausea,vomiting or fever. You seem to have muscular pull in abdominal muscles while you exercised.

You should take rest.no exercises. Do not massagefoment abdomen but light application of muscle relaxent ointment over the counter would do.Pain medicine like Ibuprofen after food would relieve the swelling in 3-4 days.

Appearance of nausea,vomiting or hard painful mass needs a doctor's consultation.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale, General & Family Physician
