Suggest Treatment For Muscle Movement In Stomach

I have a feeling of movement of muscle in my stomach. Actually it s more to the lower left side. It s more discomfort than PAIN when it moves around. It s very hard to describe this feeling. I remember this feeling when I was carrying my child. I,m 75 so we can eliminate this! I m worried about a tumor. Judith

hi,
I understand your concern.
The muscle movement you are referring at seems to be movement of gasses.- It is somewhat similar to fetal movements in pregnancy.
In old age digestion is weak, intestinal movements are slower- making improperly digested food to lie in bowels for a longer time, leading to excessive gas production/ constipation.
* You are 75, must have attained menopause-- so posseblity of pregnancy symptoms are as good as nil.
* you will have to get abdominal USG scan / be examined by a gynecologist -to remove your doubt about tumor.
* Mild regular exercise( walking), small multiple servings of food,increased fibers in diet with increased water intake / addition of mild laxative like Ispaghula along with use of digestive enzyme would solve your problem.
Thanks.
