What Does The Right Abdomen Being Larger Than The Left Side Indicate?
Question: The right side of my lower stomach (abdomen) is larger than the left side. This was not the case until the last six months or so. Should I have a concern?
Brief Answer:
Abdominal ultrasound should be done.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
It depends how obvious is the difference. Sometimes fatty tissue or scars or hernia can cause it. In other cases tumor from the abdomen can do that. For sure you should not ignore it. At least abdominal ultrasound should be done.
Hope this helps.
Regards.
