Suggest Treatment For Abdominal Distention
11/92, natural child birth w/ no meds; 2/94 I gave birth at my home in a storm, no med here either but in 8/1995 I ve had a drop cord. He was a c-section and I was 30 yrs. old. Now my stomach is the size of a 5 month pregnant woman, ea. day. When I eat (afterwards) I look like I m 8 months pregnant. I ve tried sit ups and aerobics but I am 171 lbs of stomach what should I do to eliminate the stomach issue? I have diabetes 1 and HBP as well, help.

Hi. I hope diabetes and H-BP are under control.
The distension can be due to an intestinal obstruction. Get this confirmed by X-ray of the abdomen in standing position. Have ultrasonography of the abdomen to rule out other issues like Ovarian cyst , Cancer .
Diagnosis will lead to a definitive treatment.
