Question
Hello doctor,
I am more than 3 months pregnant, but because of some problems, I can't go for an ultrasound at the moment. About 2 weeks ago, I noticed a hard lump appearing in my lower abdomen. When I lie down, I can feel it and when I have to go to the toilet, the hard lump will grow up. May I ask if a pregnant woman has a hard lump in her lower abdomen, which is a sign of disease and is it dangerous?

Hello,
With the question “Thailand” What is the sign of a hard lump in the lower abdomen? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
The sign as you describe is the phenomenon of physiological uterine contractions. This phenomenon usually occurs at night. The characteristic of physiological uterine contractions is that the uterine muscles contract but do not cause pain or vaginal bleeding.
In this case, you should still have regular antenatal check-ups, without any intervention. If your uterine contractions are accompanied by pain or vaginal bleeding or appear a lot, you should see a doctor as soon as possible.
If you still have questions about a hard lump in your lower abdomen, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
