To ask you to diagnose the alien in my belly?

[Sanshin]

When I lay down I feel something moving in my lower abdomen. I'm in the bath at the minute so can see my belly and it actually moves when I feel it move. It has a raised area to the right - I've noticed it before and can physically see this lump disappear again if I stare long enough! other than an alien what else could it be?? Poo? Wind?

A baby?

Assuming not pregnant?

No definately not 😂

Ummmm... pee on a stick?!

Hernia?

A hernia??

Hernia maybe? Do hernias move?

I have had this. I think it can be either some form of indigestion or there is a big artery/vein that runs through the abdomen.

It's probably just poo. Especially if you are not overweight.

Sounds like a hernia and what you can see moving is peristalsis of the bowel.

Are you very slim? It is probably wind.

Could be wind ... Get it checked out anyway.

Maybe its those chocolates?

Hernia or baby. The same thing happened to my mum and it turned out the movement was my sister!

Fluffywhitecloud, have you forgotten to take your medication dear?

I've suspected a hernia for a while now as that side of my abdomen is always more swollen than the other side. But it's been like it for years! Would they actually do anything about it?
