Suggest Treatment For Lump In Lower Left Groin And Abdomen Area

I have about 5 lumps (2 about peach seed size and 3 smaller) in my lower left groin and abdomen area. There is no pain. These lumps disappear when I am laying down. I first noticed one lump there about 3 yrs ago and the doctor said it was a gland so I didn't pay much attention to it. Then when I went in for a physical 2 months ago I showed them to my internist. She said it wasn't a gland and sent me for an ultrasound. I the ultrasound lying down and standing up and didn't show anything. My internist said to see my gynecologist first and then my gastroenterologist next to see if they know what it might be. Why didn't the ultrasound show anything. Any ideas? I wasn't able to go to these doctors sooner due to eye surgery. ML

Hi,
Such lumps can be seen only on ''high resolution'' probes.. of sonography.

Request the Doctor and show Him/ Her where exactly the lumps are... apply a marker so that this can be evaluated properly.

Multiple lumps in the area you have mentioned can be due to lymph nodes, lipomas, and so on.
The possibility of a hernia can really not be ruled out as this is possible.

a good clinical examination can really help to know he diagnosis and lastly the ultimate success is by actual surgical finding.
