Help! Bloating for over a month!

[kay0017]

Ive had lower abdominal swelling / bloating along with the pelvic region for weeks. Its so swollen it is uncomfortable. I have gone to the doctors weeks ago for this and bad a CT scan of abdomen and pelvis. They did see ovarian cysts and something that suggested a ruptured cyst. Since then it has gotten worse. I have regular periods. No chance of pregnancy. Negative urine sample for infection. Normal CBC. I am also experiencing pain/cramping and pressure in the swollen area. Increased urination. And sometime I have to apply pressure to empty bladder. Any thoughts or guidance would be helpful.

I'm a 22 year old female, I have had ulcerative colitis and pancreatitis in the past. Both of which are under control.

Have they mentioned a laparotomy to check for endometriosis? That won't show on a scan

A scan won't show endo and I also have a large swelling (mines only on my left side) which is caused by my endo. My GP thought it was hernia.

Could it be that your ruptured cyst has got infected? I have a friend who this happened to and very similar signs, I believe they cleared it with antibiotics but I can't remember.

Hope you feel better soon x

Request water tablets and drink plenty plain water. Ask for a hysteroscopy to check inside with a camera. I've had mine done this week and it's just uncomfortable on the bladder but doesn't hurt. Sounds like endometriosis . Persevere don't let them brush it under the carpet if your not happy go to gp for professional guidance. This is my experience I'm explaining to you and hope you get well soon.

Outcome for me now is provera tablets three times a day. With waiting now for results
