For six years a resident of Ekibastuz has been suffering from an unknown disease. Doctors shrug their shoulders: none of them had ever experienced anything like this before. Meanwhile, the disease haunts the woman: her stomach is constantly swelling, breaking her ribs.
According to the story of Gulmaya Kaldybek, she first encountered mysterious symptoms during pregnancy, at 16 weeks. Now Gulmae Kaldybek is already 26 years old, and according to her, she has to endure such inconveniences for 6 years in a row, Khabar-24 TV channel reports.
As she says, every day, for unknown reasons, her belly grows - and, to such an extent that it moves her bones. According to her, it is already unbearable to endure: this happens 22 times a day, and sometimes ribs break.
Gulmaya went to doctors, but none of the medical staff can determine the exact nature of the disease. At the first symptoms, they began to carry out diagnostics - ultrasound and x-rays. However, all of her results indicated the absence of liquid or air.
The woman underwent an operation using the method of laparoscopy (surgery using thin instruments that are inserted through small incisions in the skin - ed.). And even after that, the stomach did not stop swelling, despite the fact that the doctors assured the patient: the phenomenon is temporary and will soon go away on its own.
The patient support service of the local clinic said that they themselves need advice on these incomprehensible symptoms. Gulmaya was assured that they would immediately begin treatment as soon as she went to the consultation to which she would be referred.
