Suggest Remedy For Painful Swelling Over The Pelvic Bone
Question: swollen area above the pelvic bone on her left side , swollen area about the size and shape of a pear. this is on a friend of mine ... when she coughs it hurts a little ....
Brief Answer:
Is the swelling in the inguinal region on left?
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history about your friend having a swelling about the size of a pear on left side of the pelvic bone which hurts on coughing.
If you mean that the swelling is on the inguinal region, this is probably a hernia or a lymph node.
If the swelling is on some other area than inguinal region along the''pelvic bone'' (is all along the pelvis) it may be lipoma or a sebaceous cyst.
Please give me further details so that I can assist you more.
I would advise your friend to get a clinical evaluation and examination done by a General Surgeon to get a proper diagnosis and avoid any further complication as soon as possible.
I hope this answer helps, please feel free to communicate further if you feel that there is a gap of communication.

The area you have just explained, may have lipoma as the most common reason of a lump, other causes can be sebaceous cyst and from the muscles or so.
