Lump In The Abdomen. Difficult To Walk Due To Pain. Hematoma?

For the past 8 months or so when I start my menstrual period a lump appears in my lower left abdomen. And the lump is very painful at times. Sometimes it hurts so bad I cannot walk. I went to two different er's and they said it was hematomen. If its a bruise then why is it reoccurring? Can you please help me find out what is reallywrong and how I csn get it treated

Hi and thanks for the query,
I am sorry to suggest again that this needs another clinical evaluation. It could really be a hematoma. However, it could be very interesting and informative doing an ultrasound. This would give an idea of the echostructure and borders of the mass. This is important because if there is an associated cyst, it would be important that it should be removed. A possible infection of this mass of hematoma must be considered. Aspirating the mass content and running some tests for infections and inflammation to me shall be very appropriate.
I suggest you consult you primary care physician again for reevaluation.
Thanks and best regards,
Luchuo, MD.
