Brief Answer:
Please post pictures

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your feedback.
Your feedback of swelling on lower abdomen that switches around, which came about a month ago indicates that this is either due to pendulous belly with excessive fat deposits or a hernia.
Please post clear and focused pictures as it may help for on-the-spot diagnosis.
Also see whether the swelling increases on coughing hard and reduces on lying down.
lease provide any other additional information that you can share.
