Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have been diagnosed with hydrosalpinx and a 2 cm cyst on my ovary as well. My abdomen swells a lot like I m about to give birth and even gets hard. I also have a mildly enlarged spleen. I ve had pain in my abdomen ranging in intensity since the Ultrasound to confirm the hydrosalpinx. But the swelling concerns me. Could it be related to hydrosalpinx? I m a bigger woman already but I would say my Stomach swells 3x it s normal size and gets hard as well. I m getting the surgery as soon as my insurance approves it. But at this moment I m not under any treatment. When my Stomach swells I get more pain in my abdomen and really nauseous as well as I vomit about half of the time this happens. Please help.
Hi Thanks for trusting healthcaremagic for your health problems.
Does swelling is associated with pain? What is the size of swelling of hydrosalpinx?
As per your description, probable reason for abdominal swelling seems to collection of fluid in peritoneal cavity due to hydrosalpinx. Besides there are chances of torsin of hydrosalpinx as well as of infection. So my advice is to remove hydrosalpinx at earliest.
Regards Dr. Hiren
