What Does A Movable Lump On The Abdominal Area Indicate?
Question: I just felt a pea size movable lump under a stretch mark in my abdomen from having kids. My husband thinks it's just a fatty deposit/muscle. He had to feel a few times before he could even feel it. I went to my gynecologist last week for a check up and the doctor didn't say anything, but this was before I noticed it so I didn't ask. Surely he would have felt it though right? Is it normal to feel lumps and bumps under stretch marks? Could this be scar tissue?
Brief Answer:
Lipoma is most possible.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
This can be a lipoma (benign soft tissues tumor), lymph node or a part of some scar tissue indeed.
In this location most probable is lipoma. It is usually painless, little bit soft like a fat, rounded and movable. It can be removed for cosmetic reasons.
I suggest you to have soft tissues ultrasound of this area.
Hope this helps.
Regards.

So you can have scar tissue under stretch marks even if I did not have a c-section? It's about 2- 3 inches under my belly button. I wont be able to see a doctor until March when my new insurance kicks in. Am I ok to wait until then?
Brief Answer:
You can wait with it.
Detailed Answer:
It is possible to have a scar tissue under a stretch mark. But its rare. Much more probable is lipoma. It can wait. It is not a serious condition. So its fine to look to March.
