Hi all!
I am, like most of you, often panicked about my health and I check myself for lumps and such more often than is healthy. For the record, I've had normal physicals and pelvic exams for years (the last one was a month ago) and I had an abdominal and pelvic ultrasound in May that came up clear.
However, If I press down quite hard into my lower left abdomen and kind of "dig in" with my fingers, I encounter a small, squishy lump. It feels tubular, and long. Sometimes it seems more prominent, sometimes I can't find it, sometimes it's small.
Obviously I completely panicked and made an appt with my doctor.
Is this likely stool? Am I feeling my intestines? Should I not be poking around so much?? :)
Thank you for your help!
