Hi about two days ago I began to see a lump/bump on the bottom of my stomach like on the top of where my vaginal area starts. Now it is hard, extremely red, swollen, and I cant even touch it because it hurts so badly. I tried using a hot rag to reduce swelling but it just hurt. I also tried popping it but it hurts so much just too even poke it. I would like to know what this lump or bump is and what to do and how to get rid of it. Can you help me?
Welcome to Chat Doctor .1. The history suggest that it could be inguinal hernia - which is seen as a lump in the lower abdomen and pain on touch.2. Inguinal hernia with a strangulated bowel or omentu-fat will cause the above symptoms.3. This is an emergency - you need to get an emergency ultrasound - that will help to know the nature of the lump, its contents and source and where all its extending. 4. It will also confirm the presence of any strangulation. And blood supply. 5. Seek emergency help as soon as possible - it can complicate if you delay. Good luck. Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health. Anything to ask ? Do not hesitate. Thank you.
