Why Is The Right Side Of My Stomach Swollen?
Right next to my belly button on the right side is swollen. Especially when
I lean back with a right stomach you can see its higher than the other side. Never any pain except maybe rarely there has been a sharp pain but I haven't connected it to that. It doesn't hurt to the touch and its not red or anything. It's just higher on that side. Any ideas?
