Hello!
Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms could be related to an abdominal herniation or a local bleeding. For this reason, I recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam and an abdominal ultrasound. Some blood lab tests (complete blood count, coagulation tests, PCR, ESR) are needed too.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
