What Causes Heaviness And Bloated Feeling In Lower Abdomen?

Hello, for the past 24hrs my lower abdomen has felt heavy and bloated like. It has has pain randomly or when I move certain ways, walk, sit or even lay down. It also started right after my period. Some friends feel it may be an ovarian ulcer, what do you think? Does it sound like anything else?

Thanks for contacting HCM with your health concern

1. going by your sex [female], possible causes which one has to exclude is/are:

i. ovarian cyst, pelvic inflammatory disease, polyp in the uterus, and endometriosis.
ii. early pregnancy can cause heavy feeling in the lower abdomen even before the pregnancy test is positive.

PS. apart from heaviness and bloated feeling one should also look for other symptoms like: abnormal vaginal bleeding,unexplained weight loss, loss of appetite,constant fatigue,persistent indigestion.

2. If you think the symptoms are persisting for more than longer period and accompanied with pain/fever see a Gynecologist for necessary examination [per vaginum/per speculum for any malignancy] and investigations [ultrasonography]
