There is a small lump about 2 inches left of my belly. When you press on it, it feels as though something is protruding underneath. No other symptoms blood in stool, fever, loss of weight etc. with the exception of possible bloating at times. I am menopausal and have had irregular period patterns. That's it. Any ideas.
My name is Dr Ehsan Ullah & I have gone through your query.
keeping in view your presentation of Symptoms of this belly Lump, it seems to be either Paraumbilical Hernia or Umbilical Hernia ... and another Hernia which present in this region is Epigastric but thats a little higher and above between the belly button and mid chest...
Such lumps need evaluation by the General Surgeon and clinical examination whether the lump is involving skin/under skin tissue or it's something protruding from inside of the Abdominal wall.
to role out these, Ultrasound evalution is done for the Nature of the lump /contents and for the defect in the Abdominal wall... Treatment is then Cause directed accordingly.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear. Thanks.
