Why Is My Abdomen Distended And Bloated?

I had an hsg 3 days ago. The cramping was tough during the procedure but very mild once it was over. However, the last 2 days I have been terribly bloated, to the point I can't sleep and my abdomen is so distended. It looks like I swallowed a basketball. I am so uncomfortable. Any thoughts?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
HSG- (hysterosalpingography) is a procedure in which the dye is pushed into the uterus through a canula put into the uterus.

The possible cause for distension can be a reaction to the dye or perforation of the uterus and trauma to the intestines.
-You need to visit ER/ get admitted
-Be nil orally - do not take anything orally.
-get investigated by :Standing X-ray abdomen, ultrasonography, Ct scan.

-Follow the advise of the Doctors. The treatment will depend upon the findings on investigation.
