I have a small lump in my lower, right abdomen. I am worried that it is something serious.
I am hoping so much for it to be a lipoma, but I cannot convince myself.
I was recently at the doctors so don't want to go back again in such a short space of time.
I have had health anxiety now for 2 years, so I'm not new to this, but this just feels so different. I'm not even freaking out and googling the way I normally would, so I'm worried this is some form of 'intuition' and my body knows it isn't normal which is why I am not reacting the way I normally do with HA.
My groin glands also feel palpable, on both sides. I'm really worried and don't know what to do anymore.

Iv got a movable lump on my rib where my bra sits iv been told its a lipoma iv had for two years now not grown or changed. I still worry but iv been told its fine. If ur lump isnt hard and isnt fixed there good signs

How can you tell if it's hard or fixed? I've got a feeling I can move it about but it still feels hard.

I think mine feels hard but dr said hard as in a stone and solid. If skin moves over it means not fixed which usually means benign. Go drs get them to check it for u

Ahh really, that's good then. It's definitely not rock solid. I will mention it at my next appointment.
Thanks for your responses
