What Is The Cause Of Swelling In Right Side Of Abdomen?
Hello Doc, This is Gowtham. I have a problem, quite weird. A bit above my Waist(right) i can see that it is swelled(around 4cm in diameter). When checked from a near by doc, they recommend me to undergo for a surgery. My Doctor s comment: It is swelled because of some fat content which got secreted over there.
Hello This type of swelling may be . 1 Lipoma i.e. deposition of fat ( adipose tissue ) out side from abdominal wall i.e. peritoneum i.e. surrounding wall of abdominal organs . If this swelling is lipoma need not to worry . A simple minor surgery will remove it at once without any danger . 2 Cyst as mentioned in above case , same can be removed without any difficulty . Usually this is also an outside structure from abdominal wall . 3 Internal tumor , diagnosis can be confirmed by ultrasound of abdomen . In my opinion consult one more surgeon and first confirm diagnosis . Good luck.
