rapid unexpliained weight gain-distended abdomen?

I’m turning 20 in a few days, and since I was 16 i’ve weighed right around 103. In the last 4 months ive gained 20 + pounds with no change in lifestyle. None of the weight has gone anywhere but my abdomen. It doesnt feel like fat deposits, my abdomen, all the way down to my pubic area is hard and distended, ive aquired about 5 inches. Ive taken numerous home pregnancy tests, so i know that isnt the case, but i’m worried its something serious, i would think that if it was just pure weight gain, it would show up other places as well as my abdomen? I’m not constipated or lactose intolerant, i do how ever have a history of ovarian cysts. Someone please offer some insight!
When you push on your abdomen, is there any pain?? Can you move the tissue around?? Does it feel solid or hard?? I suggest you get to a doctor anyway to have them ultrasound your abdomen. You might possibly have a growth in there. Your health is not something to wait around on and definitely not to be validated by Yahoo! Answers. Please get yourself checked out and start a regimen of regularly scheduled OB/GYN visits, at least once a year if not more as recommended by your MD.
Good luck!
It could be A tubal Pregnancy.. I would defiantly go to the Dr. ASAP that can be very serious.. n also you can try webmd.com that may give other insight.. Don’t hold off on going to the Dr. to long it can cause other even more sever long term problems
well for your age you are a little bit under the average weight
so maybe you just gained some weight that you needed but if its just in your abdomen, then you should really see a doctorI
Go soon before anything bad happens
Good Luck
