What Causes Hard, Painful Lump On The Belly Bottom?

I have a hard, painful tubular lump to the right side of my belly button. The pain seems to include my uterus area and sometime it feels like it s below my ribs. Today I was feeling around the belly button area and found the pain is coming from a hard, tubular lump from the right side of my belly button. Can you please tell me what it could be? Thank you.

Hi, thanks for writing to HCM.

If I have gone through the description of your belly-button lump and as I feel, if I were your treating Doctor for this case of painful belly-button lump, I would come up with three possibilities, these include:
1.     a hernial sac !

2.     The second possibility is of benign and simple conditions like lipoma or neurofibroma/dermatofibroma; there is nothing to worry about these!
     
3.     The last possibility is of sebaceous cyst or some other cysts like mesothelial cyst or lymphatic cysts! Nothing to worry about these also!

I suggest you to go for an ultrasound (USG) of the lump for confirmation and to relieve your concerns!

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
