I just had a hysteroscopic polypectomy on Friday. It's now Sunday and I have only light bleeding and minimal (if any) cramps -- which is great! However, I feel really bloated and feel like there is a excess gas in my body. I know that the doctor may have used carbon dioxide to inflate the uterus to look in it. Could I still have residual carbon dioxide in my body that I feel? MY stomach just feels very airy and its not really exiting in gas forms. Wondering if I should be calling my doctor or if I should not worry about it?

Hi,
Welcome to the ehealthforum. I am glad to help you out.

The carbon dioxide which is used for the insufflations gradually gets absorbed in the body system and shouldn’t cause any problems.

The symptoms which you are having could be due to acute gastritis / peptic ulcer disease.

Using drugs like omperazole and antacids like digene if gives relief, then this could be a possible cause.

In these conditions, there’s excessive production of gas resulting in bloating/flatulence etc.

However, I must admit it is extremely difficult to make an online diagnosis and for the same will suggest you to consult a gastroenterologist.

I sincerely hope this information helps. Take care.
