What can be the cause of severe swelling in one side of stomach?
Patient: hi - Im a 48 year old woman with severe stomach swelling and buttock on one side and pain.  I stopped my period in november 2011.  have had xray and pevic scans and have small fibroid in womb (about 7mmdiameter)  My concern is about swelling and especially on one side Doctor: Hi,Thanks for writing hereFirstly i would like to know whether fibroid was only the positive finding in your x rays and pelvic scans?if is it so then only 7mm fibroid wont cause a swelling in abdomen i.e. stomach as you say.It is also necessary to do a USG abdomenIf all these tests show nothing and swelling is local,get it checked from a general surgeon.From the information you provided this is what i can comment.With regards,Dr.Akash Jain.
