I am not a doctor (just been around them alot lately) so I'm not entirely sure. But, my son had stage IV intra-abdominal sarcoma so I'm familiar with some of the words here.\n\nI would suspect that this refers to metastatic spred (tumor implants or seeding) into the abdominal cavity. (the omentum appears hardened indicating 'seeding' of tiny nodules or tumors).\n\nYou should ask your oncologist though.\n\nStay strong.

I had a gall bladder attack several years ago. They told me it would have to be removed surgically. I reduced my fat intake (in fact I stopped eating meat, fried stuff, etc...) and drank lots of liquids for the next few weeks. I slowly increased my intake of normal foods but maintained a healthy diet. I haven't had trouble since. I can only assume it disintegrated on its own.

This is where the stomach or some part of the bowel passes through a gap between the diaphragm and the abdominal wall into the chest\n\nThis causes acid reflux and oesophagitis and can be repaired by surgery (Nissen's fundoplication)

Well, mesenteric means that it relates to the mesentery which include the tissue folds in the abdominal cavity that connect the intestines to the back of the abdominal wall. The mesentery contains arteries, veins, lymphatic ducts and nerves that supply the intestines.  \n\nAdenopathy refers to a glandular disease or enlargement of glandular tissue (especially of the lymph glands).  In the case of mesenteric adenopathy, this would refer to enlargement of glandular tissue affecting the abdominal lymph nodes.  Mesenteric adenopathy is a self-limited inflammatory process that affects the mesenteric lymph nodes in the right lower quadrant. Its clinical presentation mimics that of acute appendicitis. \n\nLots more info on mesenteric adenopathy at site below.  Hope that helps!

I have had this same symptom for years. Not constantly, maybe 1 or 2 times a year. Gastro Dr couldn't figure it out, after testing and his only suggestion was that maybe, since I have so many adhesions from several emergency surgeries, that now and then the adhesions tangle and kink a section of intestine. Leaving gas trapped on the upper side nowhere to go but up and leaving me with pain and bloating. Don't want to scare you, but maybe It'll give you a starting point. :-)

rumen, reticulum, omasum and abomasum - the abomasum is most similar to what our stomachs do.

Have you ever had a hernia or near hernia? I was told I came very close to getting a hernia after lifting a heavy object away from my body many years ago. Ever since that time I get tenderness in my testicle on that side whnever I overexert myself. I can never quite determine if the pain is coming directly from the testicle or somewhere along the tubes that travel from that point up to the stomach wall where a hernia occurs. I went to see a doctor many years ago who gave me antibiotics thinking I might have a low level infection somewhere and it seemed to make an improvement at the time. But I still get the tenderness from time to time now. I don't belioeve I have an enlargement though. I would check yourself for "lumps" in the scrotal sac in addition to the testicle (compare each side). Any additioal lump is definitely a problem.

Several things.  First of all, there could be, as others have stated, fluid buildup: ascites, for instance (leaking of fluid into the open area of the abdomen); there could be a collection of stool--usually that's not as large as it sounds like might be going on here--in the colon.  The bowel can wrap around itself and injure itself (volvulus) and when that happens, there can be considerable swelling, too.  Of course, there could be a mass--some benign tumors of the uterus can become immense, for instance, and there are a number of possible reasons why a cyst could form, some of which can get very large-- or other things.  Of course, there's always the reason I've got a bulging belly: I'm just plain fat.\n\nThis requires evaluation by a physician, frankly; some of the causes (especially if the abdomen has gotten markedly larger rapidly) can require emergent medical intervention...\n\nI'd recommend seeing a doc, preferably soon.

the first answer is good.  they are not fun, you will know something is up.  i had one, it made part of my stomach bulge out, by the appendix was where mine was.  you can get them by too much stress in lifting, you blow out a lining inside and what the lining was holding protrudes out.  you would have to get a surgical procedure to fix it

There is a lot more to this story than you understand, wrote, or were told.  The condition you describe is called cardiac tamponode and it is not a complication that I have ever heard of from angioplasty...ever.  Additionally, I have never heard of doing a pericardialcentisis and re-injecting the fluid (which almost certainly is not pure blood) directly back into the patient's blood stream.  It usually is sent to the lab for evaluation to help determine where the fluid is coming from.  That part of the evaluation is key to treating the condition.  With the use of steriods it sounds like the doctor is treating pericarditis - an inflammatory condition of the bag that surrounds your heart insulating it from the chest wall.  Pericarditis can be an uncomfortable condition that usually responds to steriods or anti-inflammatories or both.  \n\nI agree that it may be time to seek additional help.  If you doctor is truely baffled I would think he would welcome additional input.  Consider going to a university center for a full evaluation - even if it means traveling.  You only get one heart.  Good luck.

Honestly, its better you consult a specialist. I really want to help but I don't think I know the answer to your question. Sorry.\n\ngood luck\n\nLove is omnipresence, Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

How weird, my mom just had this, and I had never heard about it before that. All the above is correct, but I just wanted to add that you ought to get it treated soon and change your diet around accordingly. My mom almost died from it, which is unheard of, and she ended up having a foot of intestine being taken out. Watch out! It can get pretty damn serious.
