Feeling Bloated

[Biccylova]

I have a cyst on an ovary that is being watched, my CA125 is 65 and I have just lately been feeling very bloated, as if I have been pumped full of air, it has become so uncomfortable I can hardly move at times, I think the two might be connected and I have got my next gynaecology appointment in three weeks, but can anyone tell me if there is anything I can take to relieve this full of air feeling in the meantime?

How old are you? CA125 mat take on a different connotation if you are young e.less than 40 yrs old.
Is this bloating associated with constipation or water work problems?
I would try Buscopan initially, but might change my mind when you come back with some answers.

I am 73yrs old and have no waterworks or constipation problems.

Thanks for the feedback.......O.K I haven,t changed my mind, try Buscopan. If it doesn't go before Monday then go to A&E.

Bloating seems to be fairly common with ovarian cysts. I remember when I had a school holiday job and worked with a woman who had an ovarian cyst. She would go into the loo for a wee and when she came out, she couldn't do up her jeans - her abdomen swelled up so quickly. I can still remember he laying on the floor and me trying to get her jeans done up.
