What Causes Lump On Stomach Slightly Above The Navel?

hi, i have found a lump in my stomach about the size of a pea, its located under my navel slightly to the right. It dosnt hurt but im worried as 2 months ago i had a swelling near the top of my leg on my pantyline which the doctor thought was a cyst which has gone of its own accord, took about 4 weeks to vanish completely!

Hello! Welcome to HealthCareMagic.
This lump near navel can be a lipoma or hernia..
If there is an impulse in the swelling on coughing then it is more likely a hernia.
Do you have chronic cough/ constipation/ straining at utination?
Local examination by your doctor is necessary.
There seems no connection between cyst on thigh & this lump.
Ultrasound can confirm the diagnosis.
Hope this information is useful.
Thanks. Regards.
