What Causes Lump Below The Stomach Before Having Bowel Movement?
I have something like lump that comes up below my stomach to the my left side of my abdomen!! After I have a bowel movement it goes away!! I had a Cat scan done but nothing showed up on the test! I thought it was a hernia! What could cause this problem??
Hi, From history it seems that there might be having developing direct inguinal hernia. Due to increase intra abdominal pressure while doing defecation there might be having protrusion of intra-abdominal contents through lax abdominal muscles or lax inguinal ring. This might not seen on CAT scan. Consult surgeon and get physically examined. Avoid constipation. Do abdominal recti muscle exercise. Ok and take care.
