What happens if my belly gets bigger when I don't have my period?

If there is a history of amenorrhea, a gradually enlarging abdomen, and normal reproductive function, the first thing to consider is whether you are pregnant. You need to undergo an ultrasound examination for further diagnosis and treat the problem symptomatically based on the examination results. Some patients with PCOS, especially obese patients, may have a large abdomen, menstrual disorders or amenorrhea, etc. They need to undergo relevant uterine adnexal ultrasound examination, female hormone testing, etc. for further diagnosis and symptomatic treatment. Another possibility is that you have menstrual disorders, eat more and exercise less, which causes the abdomen to gradually expand and become obese, which requires further observation, examination and diagnosis.

For women who have regular menstruation, have sex, and do not take any contraceptive measures, if their abdomen gradually becomes larger without menstruation, they should first determine whether they are pregnant. At this time, a very simple way is to go to the pharmacy to buy an early pregnancy test strip and test yourself. However, this type of test method can usually only detect it when the menstruation is more than 7 days. If the menopause lasts for more than one month or longer, an ultrasound examination can be done.

If the color Doppler ultrasound examination shows a gestational sac or a test tube embryo in the uterine cavity, then it is confirmed that the woman is pregnant. However, if you do not have your period and your abdomen is enlarged, you may have a gynecological disease, such as uterine and ovarian tumors, which may affect your menstrual period and cause the abdomen to enlarge after the uterus enlarges. At this time, you should also go to the hospital for a color Doppler ultrasound examination to check whether there are any symptoms of gynecological tumors.

If you don't have your period but your abdomen becomes bigger during your menstrual period, you should first consider whether you are pregnant. You can go to the hospital to check your blood HCG. If it is elevated, you are pregnant. It is recommended to take folic acid tablets orally within 3 months of pregnancy, 0.4 mg per day, which can prevent neural tube defects in babies and anemia in pregnant women. Create a card and register within 12 weeks, and have regular prenatal checkups. If you are not pregnant, it is recommended to do a B-ultrasound examination to see if there is pelvic effusion, uterine fibroids, or adnexal cysts. If you have gynecological diseases, you should take medication immediately and perform surgery if necessary.
