What Causes A Painful Lump On The Stomach?

Okay so I have this knot/lump in my stomach that s been there for a good while and it hasn t really bothered me until here recently, I have been having bad stomach pains. I ve always had problems with my ovaries so I figured it might have something to do with that. They told me once that I might have to have an early hysterectomy cause I get cysts on my ovaries all the time. I don t even know if my stomach pains jd that lump have anything to do with my ovaries, but I ve researched it and it all comes down to having something to do with them. Just please help me figure out what this might be. Thank you .

Hi,

Noted your history of pain in abdomen and lump also.
Hence It is imperative to know the exact diagnosis for the lump which may or may not be related to the pains.
I would advise you the following in such a situation:
Consult a General Surgeon for proper clinical evaluation, examination and investigations.
Ultrasonography of abdomen, pelvis and abdominal wall can help to confirm a clinical diagnosis.
The causes can be as follows and needs treatment as per the cause found:
Abdominal wall hernia with intermittent obstruction can cause swelling and pain.
Lipoma or any form of cyst.
Once the diagnosis is confirmed surgery may be required to deal with the swelling and pain will pass off if the lump was related to the pain in abdomen.
If the swelling is due to lipoma or sebaceous cyst, it can not cause pain inside of abdomen so needs to know the cause of pain in abdomen which can be related to intestines and other parts and treated accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, General Surgeon
