What Causes Swelling In The Lower Abdomen?
I have some small amount of swelling. If you were looking at my belly button and moved down about the 4:00 Oclock posistion on my left side it is a little swollen. The right side of this area is soft tissue but this area on the left side is a little hard and slightly swollen. I am 57, 6 ft and about 180 lbs

Hi.
This can be due an infection causing swelling or a para-umbilical hernia.
Get an ultrasonography of the abdominal wall to see what it is .
If hernia, get operated
