Indigestion, Nausea, Back Pain, Bloating



    
Asked by mschirle (Female; 26; 27491 ) on Thu 02, Jul 2009 07:52pm

About three months ago I went to the OBGyn for what I thought was "pregnancy symptoms" except I wasn't pregnant...They did an ultrasound, then a CT, then a MRI and found two minor ovarian cysts, and one small hemorrhaging cyst, they told me that they should go away on their own and that if my symptoms persisted that i should go see a gastroenterologist. I have now seen a gastro twice and they have just changed up my meds from Prilosec to Nexium and my symptoms have only worsened. I have constant severe nausea, occasional bloating, constant Lower Back Pain (typically on the right side yet radiates to the left at times). I also have indigestion. I burp frequently and have gas, yet sometimes I feel as though I have to pass wind to be relieved but can't. I am so confused and miserable. My thoughts are IBS, hormone inbalance, gallbladder, more ovarian cysts, Digestive problems.... My question would be, which way would you turn first as far as testing? Scopes, Gallbladder U/S or testing, get a recheck with OBGyn? What is your professional opinion? Does anyone know what might be causing this? This is truly impeding on my life. I am also more emotional lately, yet I don't know whether it is a symptom or a result from feeling miserable for so long. Please advise!!

Answer by Dr. Rajgopal, MBBS (doctor) on Thu 02, Jul 2009 08:07pm:

Hi, I can understand that you are feeling low due to the symptoms . The symptoms are suggestive of a digestive disorder like Irritable bowel syndrome , Crohn’s disease, Ulcerative colitis or Gastritis . Other causes of your symptoms may be Food intolerance or Medications .Please go for a gastroenterologist as well as a gynaecologist consultation to find out whether the pain is aggravated by the cysts .Please discuss the possibilities of excision of the cysts . I would suggest you to go for a USG at the earliest. Hope this helps you . Take care and regards !
