I Have Gas To The Extent Of Not Being Able

I suggest non-invasive tests
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Your symptoms seem to be related to slow peristalsis in intestine. It could be age related or maybe related to any medical condition like diabetes that can affect the nervous system.
You may want to get a copy of all your reports to confirm the findings yourself.
Its better to have a colonoscopy once a year. Slow bowels and bloating do not reqiure emergency colonoscopy.
Pap smear is basically done to rule out any cancers. So medically and considering your age, pap smear would not be of much help.
I would suggest non-invasive tests for you:
- ultrasound whole abdomen to look for any "missed" lumps.
- Stool examination for ova, parasites, culture and sensitivity, occult blood.
Meanwhile I suggest a regular tummy massage and cleaner drinking water with low TDS.
Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
