Can Lumps In Abdomen Suggest Hernia?
hey i am a 21 year old female about 125lbs and i tore my abdominal wall on the right side just below my rib cage about a year ago. about 5 months ago i noticed a lump where the tear occurred. it is not painful to touch but it burns/aches after any physical activity. is it a hernia? I am an avid rock climber, is it alright to continue climbing?

welcome to Health care magic.
1.Hernias are also seen as an abdominal mass.
2.But needs to evaluate first weather its mass or hernia.
3.Can be confirmed by an ultrasound scan.
4.Only then one can say if you can climb or not.
5.Get an ultrasound abdomen pelvis done and find out the sours of the problem.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
