Water In Abdomen Scared to Death
Posted: 11-24-05 22:05pm
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
