I am a 33 year old female, 5'2" 165lbs. There is a large lump on my stomach about 1.5 in below and to the left of my belly button. I also have some twitching or spasms going on down there too. I have had 3 c-sections and after the last one I had an abcess removed. Do you know what this could be?
Your symptoms are quite characteristic for a hernia in the mentioned area. It can be an umbilical hernia or if it is close to the C-section scar, the scar can be the source of it. Hernia should be more visible when standing and coughing and can disappear when lying down. Hernia usually contains fatty tissue from abdominal cavity however sometimes intestines can also be under the skin.
I suggest you to consult a surgeon with this issue. In case of doubts, ultrasound should be done.
Hope this will help. Regards.
