What Does A Lump Under The Ribs Indicate?
When I suck in my stomach, my left side under my last rib (right beside my stomach) is bigger than the right, and has a lump. When I flex my stomach it s almost gone but not completely. Although I ve had no weird symptoms I m worried it could be bad

Hello,
Any asymmetry needs to be checked. It may be your normal body and may not be anything to worry but still, it is best to verify this. I would recommend you to have it checked with your doctor. He will first feel you with his hand and if he finds it necessary he may order an abdominal ultrasound to make sure the spleen and the rest of the organs in that area are normal.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
