Hello doctor, I hope you can advise me about some symptoms of lumps in the lower abdomen. Specifically:
Recently I have signs of a hard lump in the lower right abdomen. I feel like something is moving inside my abdomen from the lower abdomen to the upper right abdomen (right side only). Hard lumps do not float often, mainly during and after eating. Pressing on the hard lump doesn't hurt. So, a hard lump in the lower right abdomen without pain is a sign of what disease?
In addition, I often have abdominal pain every morning after eating and drinking coffee, passing different stools (not fixed). I also lose sleep and don't gain weight even though I eat a lot.
Ask your doctor to advise you.

Hello,
The sign of a painless right lower abdomen is likely to be a peristaltic sign of the right colon. Colic in the morning when eating and drinking coffee, stool disturbances, likely an irritable bowel condition. However, in order to rule out physical diseases in the gastrointestinal tract, you should see a gastroenterologist for a gastroscopy - colonoscopy, abdominal ultrasound to check for lumps in the lower abdomen.
Insomnia and not gaining weight despite eating a lot, how is this problem related to your physical activity, your height and weight? You should also see an endocrinologist for blood tests.
