Cause For Swelling And Pain In The Abdomen?
My upper abdomen is starting to look like i'm 4 months pregnant and my entire stomach is swelling. I have lower back pain. Feels like I'm pregnant but have had a hysterectomy - one ovary left. I've been having mild headaches, intermittent dizziness, easily fatigued and feel miserable. I've had liposuction done about 15 years ago so my stomach has been flat. Any ideas?

Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
This may be subclinical for of gastroenteritis, showing only distension in the beginning. This may resolve on its own if the body takes care of this as a natural healing process.
You will need antibiotic cover if you get other symptoms like nausea, vomiting, loose motions , fever etc.
Take plenty of water / fluids if there is no nausea or vomiting.
