Painless Lump In The Lower Abdomen. Could This Be Due To Kidney Trouble?
Hi, I have a dull lump like feeling in my lower left abdomen . Sometimes it feels like it very low down, along the side if my vagina , other times it feels like its a bit further up. It does not cause me any pain, it is just more uncomfortable than anything else. I have been to the doctors a couple of times and been examined but there are no signs of a lump anywhere and I can not find a lump myself so really don t understand what else it could be other than my paranoia getting the better of me. I am prone to urine infections every few months so don t know whether it could be linked to my kidneys or not becuase this dull feeling is sometimes in my lower left back too. Ever so strange.
I think you need second opinion of another surgeon before referring to you a psychiatrist. You need proper clinical examination and investigations. Investigations include routine hemogram,RBS,LFT,Urine RE/ME and ultrasound of abdomen, CT Scan may be done if needed . These investigations and clinical examination can confirm that you have disease or not, then you may be treated for psychological aspect of illness. Get well soon.
Take Care Dr.Indu Bhushan
