I just had a pelvic ultra sound- showed I have ab excessive amt of water between my abdomen & my abdominal organs.....I am quite frightened. I have been having severe pain in the area of my left kidney.& I am extremely tired ALL the time, as well as very weak .I am 65 years old with high blood pressure, high cholesterol & COPD. Also have a stent from a 99% blockage- i take clopidogrel & I quit smoking a year & a half ago. I do not drink.
Hi and thank you so much for this query. I am so sorry to hear about this excessive fluid that you have in your stomach. This would need to be followed up with a more detailed exam to establish the origin of this fluid. It could be caused by infections or elevated procedures in the system that cause fluid to be forced into the abdomen. I will suggest that you follow up with your primary doctor to get this looked into. You would most likely require an ultrasound to measure the pressure in the blood vessels and investigations into possible liver and kidney infections. I hope this ad Chat Doctor.  Thank you so much for patronizing our services, and please do feel free to ask for follow-up clarifications and information if need be. I wish you the best of health.
