How To Treat Abdominal Lumps Which Are Round And Hard?
I have numerous (possibly) fatty tumors in my stomach. SOme are round and hard, others feel irregular and softer. THe round one is about 1 1/2 inches round. They do not move. I have had them a long time. I also had a fatty tumor on my left side removed 23 years ago, the size of a small hot dog. Should I be concerned. I would like to get them off.
I am 52 female, a type II diabetic (A1-c 6.3). I weigh 185 lbs (35 over) and work out at the gym 4 times a week. I also take medication for high bp, high cholest., very low d, high triglycerides, but just went today and they are cutting my glucophage from 1000 a day to 500 a day. I have a doing much better than last year, but I am wondering about these tumors and would like to get them off. Is there a possiblility that they may be more than just fatty tumors? The entire family has endocrine problems. My sister and her daughter have pituitary tumors. My neice has half removed.

HI.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
Have a control of your diabetes well. The medicines is being reduced as you are exercises must have helped to control diabetes well.
I would advise you to have FNAC of the few hard lumps and once your diabetes is under control and you are declared fit medically to undergo anesthesia, it is better that you get them all removed.
There will be many benefits.
1. you get rid of the lumps, which are growing into different varieties , making one suspicious.
2. You get a histo-pathological diagnosis , which is very important to rule out anything else other than lipomas.
3. Psychologically satisfying as you get rid of the problem
