Q&A with Australian Health Practitioners
What could a stomach mass on right side of navel indicate?
Related Topics
Stomach lump getting bigger for over a year. Ultra sound showed nothing a year ago. Just slight niggling pain occasionally, feeling bloated, small appetite, frequent urination at night, and recently smelly gas every night. Previous history, diverticulitis, benign bowel polyps, gallbladder removal and grade 3 breast cancer survivor. Worried this may be a bowel problem. -

If you/the patient has felt this themselves it could be a manner of things such as an umbilical hernia or cyst. These can give you a lot of pain and it is best to go to the GP to get this checked or referred onto the correct Practitioner.
If it is an internal mass that has shown up on a scan of some sort it may need further investigations.
Either way the best thing you can do is visit your GP and they can send you to the correct Health Professional to investigate it further.
