Suggest Treatment For A Painful Movable Lump On The Stomach

I have a moveable lump on the lower right side of my abdomen. When I sit it feels like I am six months pregnant like something is taking up all the space in the right side of me. Sometimes,only when I lay on my side I can see lump move when I breathe. I have had this for a couple of years now and it is getting bigger. And in the last couple of months my feet have started to turn purple/ black when I sit and stand.

hi.

it is best if you consult with a physician with regards to your clinical condition for a complete physical and diagnostic examination. if i am on your case, i'd probably request for an abdominal CT-scan initially, to know the possible origin of the mass. this could be from anywhere in your gastrointestinal tract or from your pelvic organs.

you could also request for a doppler evaluation of your lower extremities for the possibility of a peripheral vascular disease. and/or evaluation for the possibility of an underlying systemic cause of your extremity discoloration which could be due to a poor tissue perfusion in the area. if there is indeed a mass on your right side of the abdomen, and this is compressing the major vascular structures, this might also be a possible cause that symptom.

hope this helps.
