swollen extended stomach

I am a 71 year old female 6 months ago i had a rapid full hysterectomy which was a success.  However over the last 2 weeks i have noticed my stomach becomming very distended.  It looks like a small football on the front of my stomach which goes really hard at times and is sore inside my hysterectomy scars on the other hand  have healed nicely  i have had a cough recently which hurts my stomach when i cough.  I have been to the doctors recently and she told my i have twisted my stomach muscles through the strain of the cough.  Is this true, will i need surgery and have i got anything else to worry about.  please help.    I am awaiting to see a specialist whom performed my operation.

Hello,


Without examining you and obtaining imaging I cannot tell you what you have.  You need to follow up with the surgeon who operated on you and the specialist you noted.

Best regards,

Dr. Downing
