What Causes Lump At The Right Side Of Navel?

Hello doctor, I am a married woman with two kids. Both my deliveries were by C-section. My younger child is now 9 yrs. old. During the last two years I have noticed a slight lump at the right side of my navel. Initially, i thought that it would go away however, it has slightly increased. Please can u guide me.

Welcome to health care magic.

1.The anatomical location and its symptoms suggest hernia.
2.As the history says that there is increase in size. Which support diagnosis of inguinal / umbilical hernias.
3.Ultrasound of the lump will give the nature of the lump, source of the lump and its extensions.
4.If its a hernia - contents of hernia, presence of strangulation need to be assessed.
5.If its a mass lesion an FNAC - fine needle aspiration cytology will be needed.
6.Finally get the investigation done - and needful treatment . good luck.

Hope i have answered your query.
