Lump In Lower Abdominal Area, Discomfort, Painful. Done Blood Test. What Could This Be?

Hello, I am getting a lot of gas build up in my lower abdomen area that is causing a lot of discomfort and pain, sometimes inducing nausea with the pain but not always. I have noticed when the build up is at its greatest there is quite a hard lump in the right hand side of my lower abdomen, to the right of my belly button along with quite serious pain in the lower back area on both sides if pressed slightly. What can this be? Should I be worried about the lumps and pain in the lower back? I'm a male aged 22. I have had blood tests recently for my aviation medical, these all came back clear.

Hi ! Do you eat frequently from outside ? If so, it may an intestinal infection among which amebiasis is a common in which there is a lot of gas formation along with increased frequency of motions. Whenever there is a spasm of the intestines due to the infection, this may cause pain and may feel like a lump during that period. I would suggest you to go for a routine stool test and go to your family physician, who after clinically examining you may advise for some antibiotics and an ultrasound of abdomen if need be for further management. Wishing you an early recovery.
