Question
Hello doctor, I hope you can advise me on some symptoms of lumps in the lower abdomen. Specifically:
Recently, I have had 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 (only on the right side). The hard lump does not appear frequently, mainly during and after eating. When I press on the hard lump, it does not hurt. So, what disease is a hard lump in the lower right abdomen that is not painful?
In addition, I often have a abdominal pain every morning after eating and drinking coffee, and have different stools (not fixed). I also have insomnia and have not gained weight despite eating a lot.
Dear doctor, I would like to ask for your advice.

Hello,
The sign of a painless hard lump in the lower right abdomen is likely a sign of peristalsis of the right colon. Abdominal pain every morning when eating and drinking coffee, stool disorder, is likely an irritable bowel condition. However, to rule out physical diseases in the stomach and intestines, you should see a Gastroenterologist for a gastroscopy-colonoscopy, abdominal ultrasound to check for lumps in the lower abdomen.
The condition of insomnia and not gaining weight despite eating a lot may also be related to your physical activity, height, and weight. You should also see an endocrinologist for a blood test.
