A larger than normal amount of gas in the
intestines (metorism) is a functional
disorder due to decreased peristaltic
action of the intestines. It is probably
nothing serious because if it was
something serious (cancer for example),
you probably wouldn’t have survived for
5 years.
Hot flashes and irregular cycles could be
due to peri-menopause but you can check up
on this at your gynecologist's office.
If you are experiencing chronic
generalized joint pain, you can request
some blood laboratory tests and an x-ray
image to exclude rheumatic or degenerative
diseases. You can consult a rheumatologist
for more information.
