I also have been getting suddon urges to go to the bathroom nuber two , and with my period i get severe pain in lower abdomin never had this before.These things have been going on and off for about a year now and i would like to know what is going on an should i be worried. please can someone help me so i can stop worrying. my doctor isn't helping at all. and the hospital told me not to go there and to see my doctor.

You should really see another doctor 2nd opinion and get this checked out, the lump may be a hernia of some sort.

If your not satisfied with your doctors opinion always get a 2nd opinion from another doctor, and clearly state that your worried, your condition isnt that serious otherwise the hospital wouldnt tell you to see your gp.

Jenny,

I have also been having strange things happening to my stomack for about half a year now. Most notably, when I lie down on my back, I also have a sizable lump appearing from the right side of my stomack. It comes and goes away very fast. My doctor said that it's likely gas and IBS, but it still worries me. Have you found what you have?

was reading about your symptoms and it sound just like me. I was like that ten years ago and I was told that it was everything under the sun! I became very sick and lost a lot of weight. On one visit to the doctors I pointed out my lump to him and said that my trips to the washroom were getting out of control. I was sent for a test and found out that I have Crhons disease. I had the lump removed and have some on going issues still but it made me feel better to know what it was!

I hope this helps!

To me it sounds like a hernia. You might have a tear in you abdominal muscle which causes your intestine to hang through and bulge through your skin.. i had a hernia 2 or 3 years ago in my pelvic area.

This might be a mental or emotional reaction. My sister had this same thing after she and our mom had an argument and quit talking to each another.
