Terrified Water In Belly? Scared to Death Posted: 11-24-05 22:03pm
Hi!I don't even know if this is the right
place to post this but if not maybe
someone can advice me where to.
Yesterday I got a call from my Dr. Office
that they want me to have a cat scan
because of "mild hydrosis" in my abdomen!
Well, when I read about hydrosis in
abdomen I find nothing but when I type in
ascites there are many bad things coming
up.
Are these two things the same?
I went for a routine ultrasound last week
because they wanted to check my existing
gallstone again since I still have
frequent heartburn (take nexium ) and
always and often a very bloated stomach
like I ate a airballoon)thats when they
discovered obviously water in my abdomen.
I remember when the tech did the
ultrasound for my right kidney she kept
going over that area a few times, I then
already was wondering and asked her if
everythin is ok but you know how techs are
they cant say.
Today it's thanksgivin and I am worrying
myself sick that I have cancer or some
other deadly disease I can not even enjoy
the day.Why did they wait almost a week to
call me if its something that serious? I
am 41 yrs old and am the person that
worries oneself sick. The nurse from the
doctors office told me yesterday on the
phone not much except they want to do a
ct, she said it just might be an
infection? What kind of infection could
cause water in the abdomen?
Last monday I had really bad abdominal
pain by my left ovary it was the last day
of my period. Could I have had a cyst
that bursted maybe? Could that have
caused for free flowing water to show up
on the ultrasound on the right side in my
abdomen where my right kidney is?
I am so terrified I cant even enjoy
thanksgiving and earliest I can reach my
dr is monday. If it was something serious
why did they wait to call me until
yesterday? The ultrasound was a week ago
at a lab.
I am so scared that I have cancer and will
die! Everything I found on internet about
water in abdomen doesnt sound good at all
thanks so much manuela
