Have A Little Bulging Soft Spot On Lower Left Side Of Stomach, Tender To Touch. Anything Wrong With Me?
Hey, my name is Ally. I was getting out of the shower a couple days ago and my boyfriend and I noticed a little bulging soft spot on my lower left side of my stomach . it s very tender and hurts to the touch. I just kinda remembered it and rubbed my hand over it and it hurt even worse. I lifted my shirt and it is twice as big now. i m wondering what this could be and if it s anything bad.
A physical examination and even an ultrasound will help in establishing a diagnosis. It would be best to consult a surgeon for the same.
If this was not present earlier and has just appeared recently, it could most probably be an abscess. This is easily treatable, with proper guidance and management by a surgeon or Physician.
