hi. i am almost 5 months pregnant. i have been moving furniture and other kinda heavy things like boxes while moving into a new house. i also started working. i am a massage therapist outside by the pool and have to lift a massage table or chair throughout the day. I ve noticed a internal bump on the left side of my pubic bone. at first it didn t hurt but today just walking around at work it started hurting a little like a dull pain and got a little worse. I m afraid it might be a hernia and I m not sure what to do and i don t want to make it worse.
Hi, thanks for sharing your recent health concern with us! Well, in a pregnant woman with heavy works and an internal inguinal lump, if I were your consulting doctor, I would advise you to take rest preferably in supine position and avoid strains....because, as per your description, it could well be an inguinal hernia; however, it could also be some lymph node or some benign cyst!Therefore, USG of the region is necessary for confirmation. Hope you got the answer to your question. Please revert to us with follow-up queries. Wishing you and your baby good health!
