What Causes Bloating, Constipation And Pain In Stomach?

I have pain in my stomach from my belly button through my right side and into my back on the right. My stomach is bloated and hard. I stay constipated and have no urge to have a bowel movement. I m weak and sleepy all the time. Have had x-ray, ct scan, ultra sound, and hida scan to check my gallbladder. All were normal except they found I have a 2.9 cm cyst on my right ovary. I have been like this for 2 weeks now. What could be wrong?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you are having symptoms of bloating, constipation and pain in stomach. There can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like irritable bowel syndrome, some medications like antidepressants, eating a lot of dairy products, acidity and lack of fibres in diet. Need not to worry. You should avoid intake of hot, sharp and spicy food substances. For now drink lot of water , do light exercises and avoid fatty and heavy meals. You should take diet rich in fibres and exercise daily and do not lie down immediately after having food. I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper examination. Doctor may order colonoscopy or other tests to look for blockages in your colon. You should get barium studies and blood test for hormonal changes. Doctor may prescribe you stool softeners as well.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
