I had a complete hystroctomy in 2002.  Over the past year I have lots of pressure in my lower abdomen and there feels like something hard is sticking out around my lower stomach.  My GYN thought it might a hernia in Janaury and I had a sonogram.  But it appeared to be a lot of bowel only - I am now having it again - any thoughts?
Hi. Thanks for your query. Read your history carefully. Only ultrasonography does not help in proper diagnosis. I would advise you to go for a contrast enhanced CT scan of abdomen with detailed study for the bowel. This will give the diagnosis whether you have intestinal obstruction or any other problem. If the medical treatment does not help you may need to go for exploratory laparoscopy or laparotomy- a Surgery for a diagnosis and treatment. Your Gynecologist also to make sure that you do not have enterocyte or reconcile or cysstocele popping out from the vaginal area. And if present whether surgery will help or not.
