My stomach makes me look pregnant.

Posted by Seeking answers @bosnianbeauty, Jan 10, 2012

I have been having problems with my stomach for quite a while now.

My stomach is always round and bloated ,as if i am pregnant.
I have pain most days and have severe cramps and vaginal muscle cramps/contractions during my period. I also bleed a lot.

I eat healthy,take multivitamins and drink water and no sodas or fruit drinks just fruits and veggies. I know most people have flatter stomachs even those who don't eat as well as me.

I have done research and have come to some conclusions that could fit. I think i might have a uterine fibroid or cyst,something that is making my stomach big.
I also have ugly stretchmarks even though i have never been pregnant and am not pregnant,but at times it looks like it.
If anyone has anything similar or knows anything,i would really appreciate the feedback.

Being constantly bloated can also be a sign of ovarian cancer. Since being bloated is so common in women, it's hard to diagnose it.

I have had big stomach etc. Same as you. I did have fibroids and ovarian cysts. They say that poly cystic ovarian syndrome causes such or anything to do with metabolic syndrome (which is the root for poly c. ).

Hi there! I read you problem but first you should point out your age and whether your abdomen was always like this and if not when it started to be like this. Anyways I can give you certain information about the uterine fibroid. It is common in obese women, frequent in the middle and later reproductive years,can cause heavy and painful menstruation, painful sexual intercourse, urinary frequency and urgency. In rare cases, some fibroids may interfere with pregnancy. I dont think a uterine fibroid can be as big as to cause abdomen to be like a pregnant form. The ugly strech marks you pointed can be due to an excessive abdominal fat. I would suggest you to consult a gynecologist. I hope my answer will work.
Regards.

Yes, you can have ovarian cysts that are so big they make you look pregnant. I have a tennis ball cyst on my left ovary and I can fell it when I tough my belly. The only way to be sure is to have an adominal ultrasound.

hey what u have is chronic gastritis , patients with this disorde usually have slow digestion and the stomach remains dilated for long time , and looks bulgy ,physians usually indicate medicine that allow quick emptying of stomach preventing this symptom .you shouls eat less in quantity and more in frequency, and donot take highy calorie enriched food,and u look a little overweight , try losing some weight, uterine fibroids usually give symptoms in lower abdomen.not at stomach level as uterus is anatomically in pelvis region below the umbilical region,.have a ultrasound to confirm.

Hi, you should do a pelvic ultra sound to find out what is causing those syntoms. I have a similar situation and I found out I have uterine fibroid and uterine cyst. I use warn castor oil pack on my belly, which helped to reduce the cyst .

I'm 42 I have had uterus and ovaries removed. I'm going through menopause. I put on 40 lbs. Very rapidly. I have always been small 140 to 150 lbs. The weight makes me look like I'm pregnant. I do have a little trouble breathing. I'm not on hormones. How can I loose some weight. ?
