I have two large lumps under the skin on my stomach. I am very depressed over them. Is there any way to get rid of them?
Expert Answer by Jennifer Serafin, N.P.
You do not say how large the lumps on your stomach are. If they are very large, soft, and pop in/ out when you move, they could be hernias. Hernias are loops of your bowels that project out due to weakening of the abdominal muscles. The good news is that hernias usually are treatable with surgery.
You should schedule a visit with your health care professional to have these lumps checked out. You need to find out what they are, and if you can have them repaired. Good luck!
Answer
Could it be a lipoma? You can have an ultrasound to check.
Answer
My son and husband has this prob. My son has a lot of them on his stomach. My dr told them it was calcium buildup and colesterol has caused them to form. You need magnesium in your diet. Have your levels checked for that. Good luck, Oh, don't have surgery, my husband did and they came back. It is nothing to worry over, just looks bad. Hope this helps. mary
