Anyone ever have a small lump in stomach?

As I just bent over I felt a pain on left side of my stomach. I felt the area and upon pushing my skin in a bit, felt a small lump inside my stomach. I Googled it and it said in most cases its a hernia from picking up something heavy. I did lift my heavy box spring a day ago, so Im wondering if it may be that. It said online to call doc if pain worsens or it gets bigger. I guess sometimes it can ease on its own. The pain is there mostly if I bend over. Anyone ever have this???

you should get that checked. there are different types of hernias, some go away, some need surgery and some are caused by sudden weight gain. I had that third one last year, I noticed a lump all along my stomach vertically. turns out I had gained a lot of weight since covid and it displaced some muscle. so I got on a diet, lost about 25 pounds, I still have 15 pounds to lose but the hernia is almost gone. my trainer makes me do these special exercises that are meant to strenghten those muscles and make them go back into place.

@reflectingmonkey My dad is saying wait a day to gauge it, as he had one years ago in stomach, but they just kept an eye on it. I guess if pain increases I could call tomorrow?

Google is not always your friend, especially when it comes to medical advice. I would 100% want to go see a doc about that... it could be a nothing burger, need noninvasive treat or it could need surgery and repair.

I had a little bump on my belly, I thought it was nothing, turned out my small intestine had ruptured, please get it checked out soon

@sunsporter1649 Wow, you were so lucky. 🦋🌺My dad is saying wait a day or so and gauge it, as its not painful sitting here, only when bending over a tad. And its not seen on my skin or tummy..its inside.

@Coralmist The bump on my belly did not hurt at all, so it might be a good sign you have a bit of discomfort, and no outside sign

Rest up for a few days to see if it settles down Lady

No.

I hope your lump fades or can be treated.

Not that, but I have had an indirect inguinal hernia.

@Coralmist They just patched up the tear in the muscle wall with a new-at-the-time mesh fabric. It's truly a shitty design. All the weight of our torso rests on this arguably thin layer of muscle....wtf?

@uncalled4 I feel ill
