Had Swelling In Lower Abdomen, Get Bloated And Pressure In Stomach. Advise?
For about a month now I've had swelling in my lower abdomen, on both sides, next to hip bones. It doesn't hurt, but I do get bloated and feel a ton of pressure in my stomach. Where it swells, it looks tube-like. It feels tube-ish also. I've brought it up to multiple doctors and they all just disregard it. I've been waiting for it to go away, but it's not getting any better. Perhaps even slightly worse. I've even done research to try and get some idea as to what it could be, but I can't find anything. Everything a read seems a somewhat far fetched. Could you have any clue as to what it may be?

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having bilateral inguinal hernia causing this problem.
There is another possibility of having weak abdominal recti muscles causing bulging of abdomen due to gas or taking some food.
Consult surgeon and get examined.
Ok and take care.
