What Causes Lump Above Hip Bone And Belly Button Pain?

Yesterday I had intense pain in my belly button region and wouldn t go away(thought it might have been gas). Now today above my hip bone on my right side, I feel a hard lump like spot and when I press on it, it is tender. Not excruciating pain or anything just tender. No fever as of now but I am experiencing a sore throat. Any ideas what it might be?

Hi, thanks for writing to HCM.

If I were your treating Doctor for this case of lower abdominal lump, I would come up with three possibilities, these include:
1.     lymph nodes due to some infective condition like viral fever, tuberculosis, lymphoma or chronic throat / neck infection or even malignant diseases in elderly people!
2.     The second possibility is of an abscess like parietal abscess !
     
3.     The last possibility is of kind of femoral hernia or sebaceous cyst or some other cysts like mesothelial cyst or lymphatic cysts!

I suggest you to go for an FNAC and ultrasound of the lump for confirmation and to relieve your concerns!

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
