Hi im 25 female and have noticed a few months ago a lump about 3 fingers above my belly button. It is about a pea size doesnt hurt. I am also a type one diabetic but dont really do my shots in that spot. I do bloat very easily and get a lot of pain when i eat certain things..... not sure if it has anything to do with this lump??
Hi. Thanks for your query. By virtue of a classical history and area of the lump, this can be just a small lipoma or a small epigastric hernia. Lipoma will be mobile, not tender at all, will not enlarge of reduce on any movement or coughing. The epigastric hernia if small has the fat tissue inside as a content and may behave the same way as explained for lipoma. BUT it can be reduced on pressure and will enlarge with coughing. Both the conditions do not cause bloating, it needs to be investigated by ultrasonography and other investigations.
