When you press on your stomach are there harder areas?

Anonymous wrote:Feeling lumps or something under your fingers could be signs of a problem. Feeling parts that are harder but not feeling any lumps or abnormalities is not as concerning. For instance, my right upper quadrant is harder/firmer than my lower, but it's a straight firmness with no abnormalities. It doesn't hurt to push on it and there is no tenderness.

If you're extremely thin and especially without a lot of muscle, it may be a little different. When my mom was skin and bones thanks to cancer, I swear I could feel everything in her intestines.

It's my lower left side feels harder but not exactly super lumpy. Thicker and harder. Has yours always been like that?

I also had a hard area on my lower left side. It was a femoral hernia. It was I had surgery to repair it.

Gynecologists and doctors can feel bladders, uteruses, livers etc. That's what they are doing when they sre fingering your stomach. You don't know what you sre feeling. Go see someone who does,
