Hello,
It is good to know that she had an initial clinical check-up. Lump below the navel is commonly umbilical hernia, incisional hernia, inguinal hernia.
You are suggested to let her get CT & USG done to detect the factor causing the discomfort. She may need to go through blood tests & biopsy.
Other medical conditions that can cause such manifestations are Lipoma, tumor, hematoma, etc. Get her examined & treated at the earliest.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Nupur K, General & Family Physician
