Hello @laylaa,

I appreciate you posting about this very difficult problem. As @colleenyoung and @astaingegerdm have posted you do need to follow up with specialists you can help you. I noticed that you said, "I've already told doctors about these two symptoms ( except for the distended stomach which I know I should have )." Please know that is very important to tell doctors about all the symptoms you have (even if they seem embarrassing). Doctors can help only if they have the full picture of your symptoms/problems.

I would also suggest that you see a gastroenterologist as well as a gynecologist. Both of these specialists can give you some direction in what might be causing your problem. Given the current COVID-19 situation, it might take a while to get an appointment to see these specialists. In the meantime, however, I recommend that you begin to keep a list all of your symptoms that you can take to the appointment so that you share everything that the doctor needs to know.

I would also suggest that you read this discussion about tips for visiting a new doctor. This will give you some more information as to how to talk with a new doctor. Here is the link to that discussion:

I'm just wondering what types of doctors have you talked to about your symptoms?
