Why Do I Have A Painful Lump On Hip Bone Recurring Now And Then?
Periodically I develop a very painful lump between my right hip bone and naval. Usually follows a period constipation or small bowel movements. Once I take a laxative and develop diarrea for awhile the pain goes away and the lump is not noticeable in 12 hours. The pain and nausea is severe. Occurs 1-2 times a week. Any ideas?

Hi,Dear thanks for the query to HCM virtual Clinic.
I studied your query in all the details put forth by you.
I understood your health concerns.
The problem of the painful lump occurs repeatedly between navel and right hip bone,but the exact location whether below in groin or at the level of the navel is not clear from your query and would like to know from you.
Constipation or loose motions exists before the painful lump develops.This indicates that the associated increased intra-abdominal pressure presses the intestinal and mesenteric tissue in the Hernial pouch between navel and right hip bone-that is through the weakness in the spigelian line,thus causing PARTIAL OBSTRUCTION OF TH SPEGELIAN HERNIA.
This obstructed hernia gets relieved after taking laxatives which relieves the obstruction and that painful lump vanishes in 12 hours.
Associated pain and nausea with the painful lump indicates it to be obstructed intestinal hernial contents.
Cause of the health problems you queried-
With the above explanation you are quite clear about cause of your health problem and it is due to Obstructd Spigelian hernia on right side.
Other possibilities as obstructed Inguinal hernia/ indirect type and or / Femoral hernia,needs to be ruled out,for which I would advise you to consult ER Surgeon,as I have very limited information from your query.
Treatment-
Treatment of the painful lump would depend on the location of the lump, which would be decided by ER surgeon and hence he would treat it by repair of the obstructed hernia,depending on whether it is Spigelian / indirect inguinal / femoral hernia , by planned surgery.
Hope this would resolve your query with full satisfaction and would help you to plan your treatment with your doctor.
