What Causes A Lump In The Left Side Of The Abdomen?
I have a long one inch wide soft lumb to the left of my belly button. My stomach muscles did seperate and still are apart 9 months later. I m slim so can see the bulge espeically after meals. I also lost 7lbs from my pre-pregnancy weight unwillingly about one week after giving birth don t know if that has something to do with it?

Hi,
It seems that you might be having hernia producing bulging from abdominal muscles.
Due to weakness in recti muscles, starting of hernia is there.
Consult surgeon and get examined.
Take high protien and nourishing diet.
Do abdominal recti muscle exercise to strengthen the muscles.
Avoid constipation and cough reflex.
Ok and take care.
