Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

It is important to get complete imaging of your lower abdomen and pelvis done to know if there is any concern that is causing the swelling and if there is a requirement to treat it immediately. Please get an ultrasound scan of abdomen and pelvis done to know of any condition like fluid collection or bowel obstruction that might be causing the appearance of a distended abdomen or any related condition.

If the ultrasound scan is not completely informative than a CT scan might be required. This will show most structures in your abdomen in detail and will also tell if there is any bowel related problem that might be causing the swelling and pain. Please do not worry.
