Should I Meet Doctor For Lump On Left Side Right Above Hip Bone?

I noticed a lump on my left side right above my hip bone. It isn't hard, but it doesn't seem to be as soft as a fatty tumor either. I'm thinking it can be a muscle strain, as it is tender to the touch. Should I wait and see if it heals within a week or get it looked at now?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You may have some soft tissue tumor like lipoma or neurofibroma or dermatofibroma. Or you may have hernia. You should go for examination and ultrasound study. Then if needed go for biopsy or fine needle aspiration cytology. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
