What Causes Swelling And Tenderness In Abdomen?
Hi I'm a 23 yr old female,
I had a miscarriage nearly a year ago and since then I've had nothing but problems with my digestive tract which my gp pits down to ibs caused by the stress of it all, I go through bouts of constipation rarely diarrheoa and very occaisonally lower abdominal cramps they put me on buscopan and colofac which do little for me my concern at the moment however is my abdomen has swollen to the point I look 4months pregnant n feels quite heavy it's been this way for a month doctor said its constipation but I'm not constipated at the moment and the swelling is constant it's solid n quite tender in places and nothing seems to reduce it there's no other pain apart from my back where it seems to be pulling around the sides I just wondered if this could be ibs or if it's something more serious? I should mention my dad is currently being tested for crohns disease. Any answers would be very much appreciated thank you. Steph

HI
Well come to HCM
Abdomen distension could be likely due to collection of flatulence, because of the stress condition this may be likely it is advisable go for exercise aerobic exercise would be fine, I would suggest the following medicine for this condition.
1) Tab Clinidium with Chlordiazepoxide three times in day
2) Tab Omeprazole 40 mg once in day
3) Tab Domperidone 30 mg once in day
Have a fiber diet, drink more water, have good sleep, hope this information helps take care.
