Common Questions and Answers about Gaseous distention

gas

Avatar f tn Hello. I am a 36 y.o. male. I had an inguinal hernia repaired 2 years ago. I was an open surgery (not laparoscopic) and repaired with mesh. I have not had what I consider a normal, healthy bowel movement since then. Stool is loose, often floats and stains the toilet (leaves streaks after flushing). Most BMs are urgent and occur 3+ times/day. There is sometimes a burning feeling while going and it is often difficult to wipe clean.

Avatar f tn It states that their is excessive gaseous distension of bowel loops. What does it means? Is it is severe condition.
Avatar m tn not eating enough causes the distention? how so?
Avatar n tn I am suffering from extreme distention of the abdomen, w/o gas or constipation. This internal pressure has gone on for 2 mo. Drs. want to knock me out to do a scope, too drastic... any ideas?
Avatar n tn The only complication really is if you have an allergic reaction to the dye, but then medication is administered to counteract this. The anaesthetic used is not gaseous, so again there are no complications.
Avatar f tn I was diagnosed with IC about 8 years ago. I was so symptomatic I had to leave my job, I lost friends, my family life suffered and my intimate relationship was non-existant. I tried so many treatments and medications. A few helpped for a very short time and some made no difference at all. But three years ago I went into some sort of spontanious remission and it was amazing. I worked really hard to get my life back. I started at the bottom with a new job and worked so hard to work my way up.
Avatar f tn //www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/320320#what-is-jugular-vein-distention This would need to be diagnosed from more than just appearance but perhaps sounds like what you are describing. Is this bulge on the right side? Jugular vein distention occurs when the pressure inside the vena cava increases and appears as a bulge running down the right side of a person’s neck.
Avatar n tn My distention started on Sept.12, 2008. Look 7 months pregnant. Was told by 1 dr. that I was just fat. And the pain was just from being overweight. Had lap surgery on Sept 24. Dr thought it was scar tissue from a hysterectomy since I had to have this procedure 2 years ago. Not the problem. Have had a CT. upper GI, SBFT, ultrasound and xrays. All tests including bloodwork was negative. Did find acid reflux and a small hiatal hernia.
Avatar n tn For the past couple of months I have gained about 12 to 15 pounds with no change in diet but have a large degree of abdominal distention just under the rib cage especially on the left side. I have been told I have small gall stones but that the surgeon didn't think my gallbladder was the cause of all my symptoms. I have had several CT scans and also an endoscopy and colonscopy.
Avatar n tn How, exactly, does ovarian cancer cause bloating (intestinal distention) and indigestion? I've read that these can be symptoms, but I'm not sure how ovarian cancer can cause them. Can you explain this for me? Thanks!
Avatar f tn Thanks I'm going to have to ask my Dr for something.
Avatar f tn Hello. I am a 32 year old white female. I was experiencing pain that was waking me up at night that seems to radiate from my right upper abdomen to my right flank and into my right clavicle/scapula area and even down into my elbow. This persisted for about 4 nights, each episode seemingly happening at the same time every night. Then it started happening during the day, later in the afternoon.
643867 tn?1225298753 Hi, I have a history of hormonal imbalance and my two big symptoms are abdominal distention and fluid retention. I have had a hysterectomy and had my left ovary removed in 2003. I am 42 years old. I just had a saliva test done to check my hormones and everything looks pretty normal. However, I spent 29 days with huge abdominal distention and fluid retention in my lower body and also some actual weight gain.
Avatar n tn What could be the possible cause of severe distention of the stomach to the point whereby i look as if i am nine months pregnant it doesnt matter what i eat or drink the stomach is always bloated. I have had an endoscopy and barium, scans etc to be told it is gas, i have taken all sorts of things to relieve gas but it doesnt help.
Avatar n tn Lately, I started having a lot of distention in upper abdomen. Stomach was tight and bloated the entire day, making life painful. Doc ordered a CT scan, in which they diagnosed diverticulosis. He put me on antibiotics to prevent diverticulitis - the theory was that infection could be causing the gas. Things are worse now. I'm miserable - the stomach distends to two extra sizes. I have also been put on fiber to help abosrb gas.
Avatar n tn Gaseous and prominent fluid filled bowel loops are seen in my abdomen pls help
Avatar f tn Im 21 years old and just recently had a 6.5cm simple cyst rupture about 3 months ago. I had the classic symptoms of a cyst; pain, bloating, urinary urgency, pressure etc. However today I still have all the same symptoms, even when a recent transabdominal ultrasound (very painful vaginal ultrasound the first time) showed the cyst is gone. I have seen a GI doctor since my GYN said it must be IBS. I never had IBS before or even any bloating....
Avatar n tn is stomach distention a side effect of ulcerative colitis, what causes it and what can I do? I just got over my first flare-up, am eating everything and tolerating all foods well.
Avatar n tn Mother (87) has had bouts of severe abdominal distention for about 5 years -- bouts came suddently and resolved in a few days. Last summer, she had a bad "attack" that did not go away followed by some growing nasea. In July, 2008, CT and US showed small ovarian cyst (3.8 cm) and normal CA 125. Gallstones but Nucear gallbladder test showed EF of 88%. Repeat CT in March 2009 showed smal increase in cyst. Repeat CA 125 tests showed 177 and then 174.
Avatar n tn I have these bloated, distention, nausea, constipation (sometimes) for about 20 years. Colonoscopy and gastroenteroscopyn always show clear and fine. I was prescribed Amitiza 8 mg 2 years ago. There was a point that I felt ok for 3 months in a row recently. But unfortunately, it came back again. It really bothers my daily life and work. What should I do?
Avatar f tn s different for every woman. In the beginning I was nauseous, gaseous, and bloated. Vomiting occurred with smells and when I took my prenatals during the day. I'm currently in my second trimester and I gag and still throw up at times due to smells.
