Hi,I am Dr. Radhakrishna (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My stomach is hard and swollen. I have not had a missed period but feel like im pregnant. I had an eptopic pregnancy in February. I took a test today and it came out negative. I am having normal bowl movements and i am not gassy. Ive been off the pill for about a month and my husband and i are trying to conceive.
Hi! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.
Apart from your abdomen needing a clinical examination by a doctor physically, if I were your doctor, I would also advise you for a serum HCG test and an ultrasound of abdomen for a definite exclusion of any chances of an unsuspected pregnancy and any other intra-abdominal pathology. Till then I would advise you with a proton pump inhibitor drug for a symptomatic relief.
I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.
Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
