What Causes Pain And Tightness In The Abdomen After Eating?

Lately, it seems that most things that I eat make me feel bad. My belly feels full and tight, often painful. I keep telling myself that my problems are because I ve gained about 20 pounds since the first of the year and that when I lose the weight, I ll feel better. (I needed to lose 20 pounds to begin with.) Now, though, I m getting worried about ovarian cancer symptoms.I will be 62 in September. My first cousin, who is my age, was diagnosed with ovarian cancer about 3 years ago. Neither of us have ever had children.What tests would be done to find out if I have ovarian cancer?

Hi,

You need not worry that there is cancer.

It can be due to :
Gastric ulcer or gall stones. Most of the time pain occurs on eating when person suffers from ulcer in stomach or having stones in gall bladder. Fatty foods often cause pain on eating when there is a stone in gall bladder. So for any cancer is concerned there is rapid weight loss but you have weight gain. Therefore there is absolutely no reason of having a cancer.

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

Regards,
Dr. Soheel Hussain Zargar,
Dentist
