What Causes Left-sided Swelling On Waist?

detailed below.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
I read carefully your query.
A number of conditions can cause a swelling in the waist area.
Common causes are lipomas (fatty lumps under skin),cysts, abdominal mass ,a swollen lymph node or abdominal hernia.
It is important to know if you can feel any lump there or if you have had any infection recently or symptoms like abdominal pain,weight loss,diarrhea or constipation ?
If you can feel a soft,painless,movable lump most likely it is lipoma or a cyst.
Abdominal hernia is also felt as a palpable lump.
Physical examination is very important to understand something more about the possible cause.
Any painless swelling on abdomen needs evaluation.You need to consult a physician and get examined.
Hope it helps.
Let me know if you need further help.
Kind regards,
Dr.Rovena Murati
