What is this in this part of the abdomen?

Picture atttached! I know you don’t have xray vision but I have a persistent daily pain in this area for the past 6 weeks. It’s not severe but there on and off throughout the day. Feels a bit like someone poking a stick into it. I should probably see a GP but might have to break in there to see one. Any ideas?

Gallbladder is on the other side. Pancreas in the middle. Stomach seems most likely (although I'm not a doctor).

You need to see a doctor really. Try 111 as they will often make you an appointment if they think you need to be seen.

All the other anatomical suggestions are incorrect.

That is your stomach. If you have persistant pain you really need to see your gp. Be prepared to give a clear history of your diet and whether it alters your symptoms and whether you have any change in bowel habit and colour/ consistency of stools.

Pancreas thought scares me a bit because that’s never something good

Thanks. I will try to see one but it’s not easy and everyone I know has flu right now

Pancreas?

Um - I really think you should see a doctor. Most of us are not medically trained and your diagram may not be clinically accurate! Hope you get it sorted.

No heartburn or acid reflux.

Could be spleen but I thought that was further up in the ribs 🤔

No bulge I can see like a hernia (I’m slim)

Hiatus hernia? Do you have heartburn/ acid reflux?

Diaphragm?

The lines are ribs. It is an inch or two below the ribs on the left side.
