Brief Answer:
Yes, your feeling may be related with large bowel..
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking on HCM.
You are reporting to feel a long tube like structure near to your left hip bone.
What you are feeling may be related with large bowel(recto- sigmoid part of it) especially if you are constipated for a couple of days.
For the moment I suggest to empty your large bowel by using enema or softener stools and plenty of water.
If you still feel it after empting your bowel than you should perform abdominal ultrasound to better evaluate what you are feeling.
Wish you all the best.
