Hello,

If she is suffering from constipation means then it may be a stool that may appear as a swelling.

Other possibilities like a left ovarian cyst or fibroid uterus or ovarian tumors etc.

Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Use tablet pantoprazole before breakfast for one week. Please get it done ultrasound abdomen and pelvis.

Give her high fiber diet, if symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
