Dear Doctor, Around 3 months backs, I was diagnosed with a blood clot in my lower abdomen a little away from the belly button. Initially, I felt a pain just below the skin and then I felt a small lump. Subsequently, I felt the swelling (which has become painless) extending up my side like a vein and then it disappeared altogether after a few days. Again, 2 months back, I found another lump forming on my right abdomen just like the first one. I met another surgeon and he told me that it is thromboplebitis and I don t have to worry about it. Even though this lump has not extended, I can still feel it. The last few days, I started having short duration slight pains on a few other spots of abdomen. But these little pains seem to come recurrently. Now, for the last 2 days, I am having a feeling of bloated stomach with burping even after eating a small meal. Could you kindly tell what s wrong with me?
Hi Dinesh, I have recently encountered similar patient with recurrent thrombophlebitis but in the legs. As you said it is clearly a thrombophlebitis, you need not worry much. But since you are having pain abdomen with bloating I would suggest you to go crupper GI Endoscopy and also ultrasound scan with color Doppler of abdomen to rule out any involvement of blood vessels supplying small and large intestine. If tests are normal please take medications(PPI's and prokinetics) from your doctor. I hope this will help you. Have a nice day. Bye
