Hi! the right sided lower abdominal swelling is not related to gall bladder at all!
As per your description, the swelling is flat, mobile, soft or fatty to feel, painless, but sensitive to pressure or tender....
Whenever I see this kind of lump, as per needle biopsy experience, I get following diagnoses:
1. lipoma
2. neurofibroma
3. hernia
4. hemangioma
Therefore, this is not a thing for worries but should be checked by your physician!
