Had Mirena IUD, Then Removed It. Have Gained Ounces Since Last Delivery And Have A Lump In Stomach. Why?

Thank you for posting your query.
I understand your concern
I will try to work on the questions that you have today but I would like to know few more things as this would help me in suggesting you better, so I request you to describe what you mean by a "huge lump in my stomach" a bit more. Like, is it above or below your belly button? Or does it involve your belly button? Or is it like the kind of lump you might have if you were pregnant? Is it XXXXXXX inside your abdomen? If you like you can attach a photograph.
Also, when you were having your Mirena taken out did the doctor see this lump or make any comment? The more information that you can give the better the chances of my being able to help you to any extent.
Please do write back to me with the answers.
Awaiting your response.
Regards.


Thank you for your further description.
My best guess is that "this is a lipoma". A lipoma is an organised, walled off, fatty benign tumour that tends to get bigger over time.
You need not panic about this; but I think that you should go back to your doctor and show her this again. To have it removed you are going to need surgery. It is not major surgery and perhaps can be done through liposuction. But until you have it dealt with, it is likely to gradually get even bigger over time.
The best of luck with this. If you have any further questions I would be happy to try and answer them.
If I have satisfied you with my answer please accept my answer.

Based on your description, I still think that what I said above is correct.
Of course I would be happier knowing that you will have this confirmed by your own doctor very soon. Then between you, you should be able decide what the best way forwards would be.
Thanks for your follow up. Hope I answered all your questions. Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wish you Good Health.
Regards
