Hi! Good morning.I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

Even though you should not get worried for the present, if I were your doctor, I would advise you for an ultrasound abdomen followed by a CT/MRI of the abdomen if need be which would be decided on the clinical findings and the investigation reports. These investigations would clear the questions coming to your mind.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.
Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
