What Could Be The Lumps In Abdomen?

Hi I feel small lumps in some sections of my abdomen and the areas are tender. I hardly feel them if at all if i lie down. I once had a cyst on each ovary (which disappeared) and c-section two years ago. Could these be the cause? or something else?

Lumps in the abdomen that disappear when you lie down are most likely to be ventral hernias. A hernia is a protrusion of abdominal contents through a weakening in the internal abdominal wall. these types of hernias rarely cause pain and very rarely cause entrapment of organs. in any case still a good idea to get your doctor to examine you while standing and the when lying down.
