What Could Cause A Swollen Lump On The Right Side Of The Abdomen?
Good day, I have a swollen lump on my tummy (right hand side), I consulted the doctor before and he said it was hernia. few months after that I was diagnosed with ulcers and they are very painful. I went to another doctor and I explained to him all the diagnosis but he had a different opinion, he ruled out hernia and suspects gastrointestinal tract. I have both symptoms of ulcers, hernia and gastrointestinal tract. Now the lump gets sore and painful and sometimes feels itchy. please advice what could be the problem. Many thanks

Hello,
* Itchy lump can be inflammation over the skin area of the lump, otherwise, hernia never itches.
* For the confirmation of a hernia, ultrasound of the soft tissue is the best way to detect the underlying defect size and further management accordingly.
However, if you can provide me with your reports in follow up, I can enlighten the issue further precisely.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
