Lump in left side of abdomen please help

[thankunext]

Hello I am 21 and Female,
I have a lump in the lower left quadrant of my abdomen. I noticed a few weeks back. Sometimes I have to dig to find it sometimes I don’t. It’s like a tube about the size of a grape and it’s especially noticeable in the morning, when I have a lot of gas I feel it more. I am very skinny and maybe that is why I feel it. I am not sure what it is, whether it is a lymph node or my bowel maybe? As when there is gas and waste in my intestines it feels bigger. I can sort of move it under the skin. Sometimes it feels soft sometimes hard. It’s still there after a bowel movement but doesn’t feel as big. I just don’t understand why it’s more noticeable in the morning. Pls help I am really worried it’s cancer. Is it possible to feel my colon? Do you think I have tight muscle knots and when theres gas in my colon it’s more noticeable? It’s driving me insane pls help

Anyone? :(

It could be anything really and we are reluctant to suggest things as we are not doctor's.

Can't you call your doctor and see what they say?

I'm also very thin and I can feel my colon in my lower left abdomen. When I've had bowel problems before it's felt very lumpy and weird, specifically in the lower left side. If I were you I would go to my GP purely for peace of mind because it'll be the only thing to put you at ease properly, even if only for a day or two. When you come back with anxiety we can remind you that your doctor examined you and wasn't concerned :)
