I ve been working out for about 4-5 weeks and i ve started to notice a lump right under my right rib cage. It s about 2-2 1/2 inches wide, I have a the lump on right under my left rib cage as well but its much smaller, could this be a hernia or just muscle?
Hello! Thank you for the query. Hernia in this location is very rare, unless you have had surgery in this area. Most commonly such lumps are lipomas. It's a benign lesion, which do not turn into a cancer. It is also possible that you have started noticing some muscles in this area. If you are very concerned, soft tissues' ultrasound should diagnose the problem. Lipoma can be removed due to cosmetic reasons. Regards.
