What Causes Abdominal Bloating After Salpingectomy?
Hi I had this procedure salpingectomy 2 months ago, on my right side, and my stomach is still extremely bloated. I look like I could be pregnant but I am not, per a test. I also had a period 3 weeks ago. I generally have a pretty flat stomach.... how can I make this go away?!

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Bloating can be due to different causes but most commonly it is due to diet/drink, reflux, constipation or as a side effect of medication.
The diet/drink that can cause bloating include-- broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, turnips, beans/peas, prunes, carbonated drinks
If any of the medical conditions mentioned (reflux, constipation) are present or you are using any medications that can cause bloating, then these would need to be addressed.
I hope this helps
