What Causes Grape Sized Ball With Pain In The Abdomen?
This advice is for my brother who is 25 years old. There seems to be a small grape sized ball in his lower abdomen, near his belly button that moves. He says it is painful most at night, most noticeable when he is not moving, and of course un-noticeable when hes working out or moving around. What can this be? Should he be worried?
