What Causes Stomach Swelling With Abdominal Aches On Lifting?
I have been watering the garden, carrying heavy cans of water and diggin g hard ground. After I felt slightly as though I had a prolapse, now whenever I lift anything my underneath aches and my stomach swells.. I had an hysterectomy 7yrs ago. What do I do other than rest? I'm a fit 73yr old 5ft and 71/2 stone.
Hi, It seems that you might be having hernia due to lax abdominal muscles. Consult surgeon and get examined. Avoid lifting weight. Avoid cough reflex and constipation. Take plenty of water. Go for abdominal recti muscle exercise after consulting surgeon. Ok and take care.
