A member asked:
Can pcos cause upper abdominal tenderness? my doctor examined that area while diagnosing pcos. pain increases and decreases with weight loss and weight gain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
PCOS: I wouldn't expect upper abdominal discomfort and tenderness in uncomplicated PCOS. Inflammation of the stomach lining(gastritis),peptic ulcer, pancreatitis or gall bladder disorder are more likely causes. Since these symptoms occur repeatedly, I recommend consulting a gastroenterologist for evaluation, testing and advice.
