lump

Heya i was just wondering if anybody could help me i am having my 3rd child and a lump has appeared above my belly button i havent had this before and it hurts when theres pressure on it.

I found a lump above my belly button last year which is long and hard. I went to my doctor and he sent me for a cat scan with contrast which showed nothing. I can feel it more when I'm standing. Now I'm starting to have these symptoms, loose stools, pain and loss of appetite. My mother had ovarian cancer and I'm scared to death this is what I have, I made an appointment with the doctor for next week. I'm 46 and very anxious about this, I haven't been sleeping or eating much.

I have sharp pains and a small lump about 2 inches directly above my belly button. the pains are so bad i can't sleep. food soothes them very briefly but then they return. what could this be?

i had a painful lump above my belly button earlier this year. I wasnt on any medication or pills but i went to the doctor and they told me it was a cyst. They said it should dispear by itsself but if it contiues for more than 2 weeks i had to go back and get it changed out properly by going for a ultrascan.

I did sit-ups on an excersise ball right after dinner in a panic, and out poped a lump above my belly button. I went to my primary physician's office and the Dr on call said it is a hernia, and because I am not in pain, she didnt think a surgeon would opperate, but she would still refer me. I opted not to go. I am currently having the swelling after eating, and as the day progresses it gets larger. As I told the Dr. I look as if I am pregnant.

The other day, I bumped that area on the countertop and realized it was sore--feels like bruising. Then I noticed that there is a hard lump just next to my belly button that is sore (also could be sore from pushing on it though!). It doesn't really hurt, but is sort of a burning pain inside (not severe), comes and goes, worse obviously when I push on it, and it feels like it's bruised or something.

Mine never really hurt unless pushed on but lately with this pregnancy I have sharp pain around my belly button and the lump is getting bigger. It all depends on exactly where it's located and how bad it is for if it's serious or not.

i only ask this because,as some of you remember,when i started my whole saga with my infection,i posted and said i had the huge lump right above my incision,and it looked like a second belly button had developed....please for peace of mind(yours and mine..lol),call your doc and be seen....

I also have known, but did I tell the doctor that I have a large bulge above my belly button, which was coming and going. The last four or five days it is here to stay. Does that sound like, yet another hernia. If so, what can be done. My middle is nothing but scars and bulges. Thank you! Has anyone else experienced this after surgery(ies)?

The incision in question is one-inch-long and the protruding lump above it makes it look like I have a second belly button! Lovely, no? The lump is longer than the incision and protrudes almost an inch beyond my normal stomach line. The protrusion is not even - it extends outward more on the left side than the right. It's also pretty hard. I just hope I'm not developing nasty scar tissue that will require surgery. Does this description sound consistent with yours?

I've had a small area about 3in x 3in with about 50 red pimples midway between my penis and my belly button for about 2 wks now. It doesn't itch or bother me, it's just unnerving. I scratched a few open and there is no visible puss, just a few drops of blood. Most look like the first stage of an acne but are red on top. They seems to go away slightly when I shower, but come back by the next day.

5 inches high, centrally located in my abdomen about 3 inches below my sternum and 2 inches above my belly button. I often feel full and uncomfortable when sitting and if I lie flat, it is easier to feel. I tried to see what organs were in that area online and saw the stomach and pancreas, so I am concerned... Do you have any idea what it could be. I am a 49 year old woman.

Please, i have a number of tiny tiny lumps on my belly (just a little bit above my navel, and also between my navel area and my private part), and it has been there for about 3months or more, i've gone to the hospital about it and i was given some antibiotics and betnovate cream, but all these doesnt work?

I got a little lump about 3 to 4 inches above my belly button, there is no significant pain coming from that area but lately my stomach has been feeling wierd, there are some areas that do have aches but dont necessarily hurt but still is very uncomfortable, i am also feeling like i have to go number 2 alot...any suggestions of what this could be?

hello I have two hard pea sized lumps in my abdomen about an inch to the left of my belly button. They are under the skin, do not appear movable and are not painful to touch. I went to the doctor and got referred for an ultrasound but 5 weeks later I haven't even got an appointment. The doc said "there's no evidence it's anything serious" but that he couldn't rule anything out. He doesn't think it's a hernia. Any ideas what this could be?

They gave me a Laparoscopy so they could check out the surrounding organs and the other ovary and everything was perfect. I had an incision in my belly button (which has only stopped leaking from an infection) a 5cm line above my bikini line, a little incision on my left side and a incision on my right side, which is near my lump now. It makes sense if this is related to everything that has happened, but I don’t understand why it is getting worse.

I also have one larger one just above my belly button. It is about eight inches long. I know people have talked about having one or two, even up to 15. Is it possible to have almost a hundred of more?

if it does i would suggest its a hernia, if it doesnt' then its probably not, i have only had experience with ingrunal hernia's in your groin, you can get hernias in 5 spots i believe 2 sides of your groin (mostly in men), in your belly button (women mostly from child birth, or children born with them, however they are not uncommon in men) you can get them in your upper leg, and another spot on your tummy too....

For sometime now ive had this lump on my lower right side of my stomach, just above my vagina and a little in from my hip bone.It has not been painful. Sometimes i experience sharps pains up my upper right side.Its not a soft lump,its rather hard..kind of like a muscle feeling?If that makes sense. When I stand up and look down the right side of my lower tummy is a little higher then my left.

Hi. Since April I have had pain above my left breast. It's not constantly there, but it comes and goes. Sometimes it feels like a burning pain, other times it feels like a cramp. I've also felt it in my armpit at times and it will also creep up over my shoulder. Although I VERY RARELY feel it on the right side, it DOES happen once in awhile. But for the most part it's been my left side.

a little bigger than a baseball) that i can occasionally feel just below my rib cage and above my belly button. When I feel it I can feel a rythmic pulse... just actually feeling it is uncomfortable, and it moves about... Occasionally I get sharp rapid pains under both sides of my rib cage and even experience speratic episodes of breath shortness... I dont know if any of these are connected.... Does anyone know if this is normal?

For the past couple of months I've noticed a small lump (about 1/2 inch diameter) on the upper left quadrent of my body ( apprx. 2in above and left of belly button). I feel no pain or discomfort but sometimes especially when I think about it or press on it, I feel a slight heaviness around this area. I am a 49 years old male with a clean history concerning health problems and no surgeries of any kind.

It starts right at the bottom edge of my rib cage, and about 1 inch in from my side, then it stops right when it gets to my belly button. It moves around easily, and it feels smooth not bumpy, but it is very hard, and is just smaller than the size of both of my fists put together side to side. I have had no pain, tenderness, or any kind of stomach upset or indigestion at all. I am female, only 23, and am 5'9" 120 pounds.

The second question is that I have pain on my right side above the belly button after TT. It hurts when I move and it is very sensitive to the touch. Left side is fine. I plan to have lazer lipo in two weeks and this pain concerns me. What do you think??

They appear on the left hand side of my lower stomach from about 5cm below the belly button down to about 5cm above the base of my penis, so they are and aren't where my pants rub against my stomach. They are kind of milky/pearly in colour and aren't pimples.

For a few months now I have noticed that I can feel a small lump in the left side of my abdomen, about 2 inches above my belly button and below my left ribcage. It is not painful, and I can palpate it, especially after I've eaten a large meal. When I eat it seems to pop out a little bit, and to me it just feels like a baby kicking, but it's in my upper left abdomen. The only health problems I have had are a history of hashimoto's thyroiditis.

I recently found a small lump below my belly button to the left. I went to the dr. and he immediately asked me how are my bowels? I have been going to the bathroom regulary however after he mentioned that, I have noticed that when I have a bowel movement my waste has been somewhat "hard" and also "broken up" its like small peices coming out as apose to " a log" or "logs". lol.

i have the same kinda thing its a fair sized lump above my belly button and slight pain when pushed on and i have sharp pains around my left ribs and down that come and go but mainly around my ribs i continue to have sharp pains as if being poked with a sharp knife? its hard to explain but ive been to the dr a few times and they all say its fine and i got blood tests and they came back normal and im worried that somethings wrong and their not paying too much attention to it.

Hi everyone, My mother has been a long time Ovarian Cancer survivor, and has gone through many relapses. Last night, she developed a lump, about 2cm to the right above her belly button. It feels like a soft rubbery tennis ball. BUT, the only difference between this lump and the hard rubber feel lumps she had before was, this lump when pressed on it, you can hear water/air sounds. I can continuously press on it, and it will make soft water/air sounds.
