Brief Answer:
Possibly a swelling from the pelvic adnexa.
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX! Good afternoon.
I am Dr Shareef answering your query.
The area of the swelling noted by you points to the pelvic adnexa as the origin of your swelling, which could be be tense cyst (ovarinan cyst) or could be a fibroid apart from any other swelling arising from any other intraabdominal viscera.
If I were your doctor, I would advise you for an ultrasound of the abdomen to know the origin of the swelling followed by a CT/MRI scan if need be. Further management would depend on the physical findings of a clinical examination by a gynaecologist and the reports of the investigation. The management as it seems to me from the history alone would possibly be surgical.
Therefore, I would advise you to take an appointment with a gynaecologist of your area and follow her advice on the same.
