Hello, I have a little lump I can feel in my lower abdomen on the right side that is a little tender when I push on it. I have not noticed this before. Could it be a swollen lymph node? I am on my period, would that make a difference? Is this something to be concerned about?
Hello! Thank you for the query. This can be a lymph node only if this is located in the groin. Otherwise, you are unable to palpate abdominal lymph nodes. Painful lump is usually a benign skin lesion which has gotten infection. Very common is sebaceous cyst. Infection usually results with swelling and redness. If this lump is soft and located in the groin, inguinal hernia can be the case. Period has rather nothing to do with the lump. This lump should not be the reason to concern. However, you should consult your doctor. Soft tissues' ultrasound can answer about its nature. Hope this will help. Regards.
