Suggest Treatment For A Large Painful Lump In The Abdomen And Dyspepsia
Hi - I have found a pea sized hard lump in my upper left abdomen. I have been to see my doctor who has arranged for an ultra-sound scan next week. When I went to see my Doctor last week, I was also suffering from stomach discomfort, bloating and feeling full very quickly during eating. He has prescribed medication for dyspepsia and the bloatedness has mostly gone away. However, having researched on the internet, I m worried my symptoms might be more sinister as I have had a significant weight loss without dieting. I examined my stomach yesterday and found some more lumps on both the left and right hand side of my abdomen so now i m really worried.
