What Could Cause Bulging In Lower Right Abdomen That Has Recurred After Years, I Occasionally Indulge In Cocaine?
i have a buldge in my lower right abdomen. I have no pain or discomfort whatsoever. I noticed this about 3 years ago but it just went away. Now it is back. I get regular physical examinations. I had a colonoscopy last June. I don't know what it could be. The only thing I do wrong is occasionally a little cocaine. I am a non smoker, very health by practicing yoga 5 time a week and walking 5 times a week. My diet is very healthy. Our rule at home is that we don't buy anything that won't go bad in 3-4 days except canned white beans. I eat a ton of fruit as well.
Thank you in advance. Eric

Hi
I think first thing you should get done is xray abdomen and ultrasonography along with routine blood investigation.
This will ruke out appendicitis or any infection in colon.
You need to see if you have dark coloured stool or fresh blood in both urine or stool. Which will rule out colon pathology.
If there is bulging or pain while straining or coughing this will rule out hernia.
Get well soon.
Thank you.
