Having Lump On Lower Left Side Of Abdomen, Looks Prominent When Bladder Is Full. Reason?
I have a hard lump that doesnt hurt just feels like a heavy sensation it doesn t move and feels like it is in the muscle on the lower left side of my abdomen near my hip bone about 3 inches in length down towards my pubic bone. I can feel it more when I am lying down nd when I have a full bladder it seems to feel more prominent it cant be seen on the outside of my body only when I press my abdomen

Other causes of a lump in the abdominal wall include:

Lipoma (collection of fatty tissue under the skin)
Lymph nodes
for confirmation of diagnosis you cant contact a surgeon.
thank you,
wishing you good health
