What Causes Lumps On Abdomen?

I am concerned because I have about three or four pea sized lumps on my abdomen. the first one I noticed was on my left side and was tender when I touched it. I also had constipation so I went to urgent care and the dr gave me lactulose, felt the bump and said it could be a hernia. I m the one that said something about a hernia in the first place because i was lifting heavy things. Anyway, I really feel the dr didn t know what he was talking about. I have an appt with my primary dr in 2 weeks but I am really concerned now that I feel more lumps. They are tiny like peas, one feels kinda oval shaped and they are hard to find, it takes some feeling around. One right below my ribs and two others on the right side. Obviously this is not a hernia.. Please let me know what it could be and should I wait to see my doctor or go somewhere else to look at me sooner?? Thx

Hello,

From history, it seems that as there are multiple lumps on the abdomen. It might be due to having neuro-fibromatosis in the abdominal skin. They are benign and nothing to worry about it. Wait for increasing the size or developing any changes in lumps. Consult the surgeon and confirm the diagnosis.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
