What Causes Abdominal Bloating And Swelling In The Navel?
I have a swelling to the right of my navel , I am female and haven t had any surgery apart from two C-sections and one normal birth , I am 55 and 5 ft 2 inches and 9 stone , the swelling is painless , im bloated nearly all the time these days ? any idea what it could be?
Hi Thanks for posting on HCM A swelling around your navel could be a hernia, lipoma or a cyst.I will suggest you see your Doctor for examination.Being bloated all the time may be linked to it if hernia and if abdominal viscera are in it.However, a possible digestive disorder should be eliminated.I will advise you see your Doctor for examination.A stool exam will be needed if your Doctor rules out a possible link between the swelling and digestive disorders. Best regards
