What Causes Hard Mass In Lower Left Abdomen And Chronic Constipation?

I have a sausage shaped mass on my lower left abdomen , very hard to pass gas and have bowel movements with a lot of pain. I have to strain real hard to have a bowel movement with very little coming out. I don t see any blood in my stool. I have my left testicle hurting like Its been hit. Also pain in the center of my stomach right above my belly button, feels like a burning sensation. I ve been to the emergency room ,actually 3different ones and had a sonogram done,ct scan ,blood tests and its showing nothing.the for did a prostate examine and said it was swollen,and they tried to give me a catheter and had difficulties inserting it and it caused me a lot of pain. I m a 36 year old white male about 135-140 lbs.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you are having symptoms of hard mass in lower left abdomen and chronic constipation. It could be due to irritable bowel syndrome, eating a lot of dairy products, some medications like antidepressants, acidity and due to lack of fibres in diet. It could be due to underlying systemic cause. Need not to worry. For now drink lot of water , do light exercises and avoid fatty and heavy meals. I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper examination. Doctor may order colonoscopy or other tests to look for blockages in your colon , barium studies and blood test for hormonal changes. Doctor may prescribe osmotic laxatives , stool softeners and medicine to reduce acidity. Take walk after meals , do moderate workout daily , eat ever after 2 hours and sip on warm water.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
