Suggest Treatment For Abdominal Lump
Question: If i go down the middle of my abdominal with my finger. from sternum down i feel little bumps. They dont hurt and ive had then for awhile. They havent gotten bigger and they hvent gone away. I can kind of feel a bump a small bump near my left part of my rib cage next to the abdominals. None hurt just seems wierd Should i be worried about them at all?
Brief Answer:
No need to be worried at all.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Generally such bumps which can be easily palpated are located just under the skin. It means that this lumps have nothing in common with abdominal cavity. So this are just soft tissues benign lumps.
As lung as such lump does not grow fast (like in few weeks), does not hurt, no need to be worried. It can be simply left alone.
If you want to make sure about the nature of this lumps, soft tissues ultrasound can be done.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
