What Can Explain Tenderness And Lump In Upper Abdomen?

Hi I noticed a tenderness and lump in my upper middle abdoemn, just above my navel. My tummy is also currently bloated. I'm 39 years old, 5 Ft 6" tall and weight 82kg. It hurts more when I touch it? The palce is also hard, not soft to touch. What could be responsible? Thank you. Anne

Hi ! Good morning. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

From your history, I would suggest you to report to the ER of your nearest hospital at the earliest, as it seems to me as an obstructed hernia, which needs immediate attention. However, it could be confirmed by a physical examination and so you need to report at the hospital.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef
