GENERAL: Abdominal distention (bloating?) 2 months post EA and cystectomy?

About 10 weeks ago I had a laparoscopy for ovarian cystectomy along with an endometrial ablation. While I did have some abdominal distention prior to the procedure, my abdomen was surprisingly flat afterwards. I have noticed over the past few weeks, however, that it is starting to look and feel distended again. It is usually less so when I first wake up in the morning, but I notice that it tends to get larger and more painful as the day progresses. It gets so I can't stand the feel of anything touching that area by the afternoon, and yesterday it was so sore and tight and painful that I felt like I could hardly walk. I have had pain down both sides of the pelvis since the surgery and those have progessively gotten worse also especially around every 15-18 days, which would seem cyclic in nature (although it is hard to track because I haven't had a period since the EA -- one good thing!). What could be causing the abdominal swelling? Thanks.
