Knot In Lower Abdomen, Ehlers-danlos Syndrome, Diabetes. What Is Wrong?

hello, I was lieing down yesterday, and felt a kind of a knot in the center of my lower abdomen, then it moved to the right, and still hurts. That's the basic. I'm thinking of going to a doctor tomorrow to check itout. What kind of doctor should I go to.? I have some pre-existing conditions.. 67 yrs old, diabetes, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome.

sorry, I can't pay for this

Hello,

Welcome to Healthcaremagic.

As you have Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, You may have inherent muscle weakness and easy rupture of muscles.

This may result in herniation of abdominal contents outside of abdominal cavity into abdominal wall.

Otherwise the swelling may be due to fibrosed abdominal wall muscle after any small tear in abdominal wall muscle.
It may also be due to Lipoma or other swellings in abdominal wall.

Please have a brief physical examination by your treating surgeon and kindly follow his advice.

He advise ultrasound abdomen, CT and MRI Abdomen or excision of the knot.

Hope this helps.
Please reply for further queries.
Wishing you good health.
