Suggestion For Lump Near Transverse Colon Close To Surface?
I have noticed for sometime now that I can feel a lump about the size of a bean on my left hand side close to the surface which seems to be in the transverse colon. Does this area get blocked at times but it does seem to be the all the time. Is it something I should get seen to urgently?
Hi! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.
Even though your query is not very clear, I would suggest you to go to a general surgeon to see if there is any lump palpable ,and if it is superficial or deep in the abdomen. He might also advise you for an ultrasound/CT scan if need be to arrive at a diagnosis. Even though it might not be an urgent affair, it would be better to get it assessed at the earliest possible appointment you could get with your general surgeon.
I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
