A member asked:

I had hernia surgery 5 years ago and my tummy is hard as a rock i look pregnant and feel bloated i did tell my dr he is sorry he couldnt do nothing?

A couple of things: If u are sure you aren't pregnant do you have constipation or alternating constipation and diahrea? Do you generally sleep well at night? Recurrent headaches? I go this route b/c your doctor didn't see a problem. I assume u had an umbilical hernia repair , was this for pain?

Not related: Having had hernia surgery 5 years ago is not likely related to your abdominal fullness or enlargement now. I agree with dr. Newman that there is likely other issues going on such as constipation, irritable bowel, etc. I do not know what tests your doctor may have done. You may need blood tests and basic x-ray. May need to see a specialist like gastroenterologist.
