Question 1

i never had any type of relationship with anyone, i am still a virgin. although, around january 13, i was spotting. i thought it was normal but then i missed my period and a week later got my period, but why is my stomach so hard and bloated?

Accepted Answer

Examination: Stomach bloating and hardness could indicate a gynecologic or a gastrointestinal problems. Consider seeing a doctor for an abdominal exam to determine the abnormality. Then you can also discuss options for menstrual cycle regulation

Question 2

why is my stomach always hard bloated and sore ? could this be ibs

Accepted Answer

Yes, but...: When you say "swelling" are you relating your abdominal circumference to feelings of distension, fluid retention, constipation, overeating, or do you feel pregnant? Hard to answer your question without further information and clarity.  Over what period of time have you noted the swelling--minutes or months, and what are your underlying medical problems (alcohol, liver disease, gut problems...)?

Question 3

why is my stomach hard almost all the time almost kinda bloated to ? obesity?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Seeing as to how you've had a number of tests, including a mri, the complaint of a bloated abdomen is likely not to be serious, given your age and presumed lack of findings on mri.  If you are overweight, this can certainly account for a "bloated" abdomen.  You should sit down with your physician to discuss the findings of the tests you have had done already before doing others.

Question 4

my boyfriend is 43 hes always been normal he does eat a lot of sugar but recently his stomach is like bloated and it got big and its hard to touch but dont hurt what could it be he has no known medical issues?

Accepted Answer

: Eating a lot of sugar does not make your abdomen bloated and firm. A thorough medical history and physical exam need to be done for correctly answering your question. Unfortunately, he may now having medical problem.

Question 5

when a stomach is bloated is it hard or flabby?

Accepted Answer

Generally firmer: When we consider 'bloating' it usually is consistent with a firmer distended abdomen.

Question 6

bloated, stomach feels hard, gained 6 lbs since yesterday?

Accepted Answer

Good and bad: List of possiblitlies is very long: if liver disease would consider ascites as serious condidtion needed semi-urgent medical evaluation.  If you have nausea and vomiting obstruction is most likely and ED is advisable.  However most likley related to normal cycle of eating and GI losses and conservative measures with over the counter treatments for constipation.

Question 7

how do u know u r bloated what does it feel like? will ur stomach be hard

Accepted Answer

Please resubmit ?: Here is a better suggestion.  It is not going to get you very far for us to teach you how to feel or what you 'should be' experiencing. When asking doctor's questions you will get much further if you share your specific situation or feelings or symptoms.  Let the doctor then put this together for you with something valid. Asking for generalities will only get you generalities back.

Question 8

i have pain in the middle of my back, specifically the right side. also my stomach is bloated and feels hard. what is wrong with me?

Accepted Answer

Gall bladder: Right sided back discomfort and abdominal bloating may be due to gall bladder pathology. Even though you don't have abdominal pain, it could still be a gall bladder problem. I recommend that you have an evaluation by your physician who will order the appropriate tests if he/she deems them advisable. In the meantime avoid fried and fatty foods. Heat to abdomen helps bloating. Kidney stone a possibi

Question 9

my girlfriend & i had protected sex 13 days ago. now she is experiencing pain on her left side of her stomach, she has a bloated & a hard stomach.

Accepted Answer

Bladder infection: She has a urinary tract infection. She should be seen at the family medical clinic.

Question 10

my stomach has been hurting and is bloated and hard?

Accepted Answer

Stomach Pain: it is hard to say exactly what is going on based on your symptoms alone without the benefit of an exam. The symptoms are significant enough that it warrants a visit to your doctor to be evaluated.
