What Causes Slight Bulge In The Abdomen?
I have a slight bulge on right side of my abdomen just below the rib cage. No pain. When I lie flat it is not noticeable. I had open heart surgery in 1996 and appears to be in the same area where drain tubes etc. were. I am thinking scar tissue perhaps ?

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms seem to be related to hiatus hernia.
I suggest to do an abdominal ultrasound to confirm the diagnosis.
If the diagnosis is confirmed, the treatment consists in surgery.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contappct me again.
Kind regards!
