Suggest Treatment For Lump In Stomach

I sometimes feel a lump in my stomach about 2 inches in diameter on the right side about 3 inches below my rib cage...it is not painful but extremely annoying. It is not always there and seems to move to the middle of my stomach. Is this somethin I should worry about?

Hi
Welcome to hcm
This must be a lipoma that is fat lump. But rarely it can be hernia so you should see a surgeon for confirmation. Lipoma doesn't require any surgery unless it is too big or bothering you. Hernia always need surgery.
