Is A Visible Painful Lump In The Abdomen Caused By A Hernia?
My fiancé has had a knot in his abdomen that will push out when he is lifting or even sometimes when he just moves a certain way. He has had this on going for about 2 years. It has got bigger in size and is painful when hit pops out. He has said something to the doctor and she had a sonogram done but the tec doing the sonogram said the doctor was wanting a sonogram of his pancreas..... I need to know what specialist he needs to see about this? I am pretty sure he has a hernia and it is getting worse.

Hello,
The symptoms and signs are typical of hernia. Consult a general surgeon and get evaluated. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, you can go for surgical repair. Laparoscopic repair is preferred as it has got better results and recurrence is rare.

Wishing you all the best. Thank you.
