 Posted: 05/03/07 - 10:58 Post subject: perimenopause, abdominal swelling (look 9 mos prgnant) |
  |
|
| Currently experiencing perimenopause, abdomen swells up during day. Makes me look pregnant. Seems to go down at night while sleeping but gets bad when I get up. Not gaining weight. Slight ache from time to time. VERY uncomfortable and worrisome. Started about 3 weeks ago. |

| have this and just under a year ago i had a six pack. it's very distressing and i had to research this problem and i am now learning it is not our fault. it is the fault of estrogen, too much at this time (perimenopause) and this leads to breast cancer which i had a lumpectomy in dec 06 and refused radiation, i will have a mam next mo. to check it all out. anyone out there familiar with any of this, please respond on all or any issues, thanx. |

| Went to the doctor and have been undergoing tests for 3 weeks. They have checked my liver, kidneys,heart,etc. and have found nothing. I have had blood work, xrays, an ultrasound. They just keep saying I have fluid in my abdomen. They put me on a med for high blood pressure/diuertic but I have seen no difference yet. I go in tomorrow for a follow up. When I mentioned perimenopause they just looked at me like I was a kook. Starting to get really frustrated. |
