Question 1

a bulging object 
near the lower part of stomach, keeps shifting around, and now its painful...female?

Hernia?: Maybe a hernia? I would have that looked at by your doctor.  If it's not that, it may be a cyst or something benign like that.

Question 2

what drinks can reduce a stomach bulge?

Accepted Answer

Stomach bulge: The key to reducing a stomach bulge is not found in a drink of any sort, but instead in losing weight. You need to take in fewer calories than you are now. Exercise is also important. You may want to consult a doctor or nutritionist for help in figuring out that diet. Good luck.

Question 3

what do you suggest if huge, bulging stomach?

Accepted Answer

Spot fat loss does: not occur naturally. By losing weight in general  some may be abdominal fat.  But, we don't get to choose what area of body fat is lost from. Eat healthy &amp; be physically active. Calories burned must &gt; those consumed. Tighten ab's: crunches, reverse crunches, exercise ball crunches, pelvic thrusts, lying leg raises, side bridge &amp; “bicycling” exercise on back. Do regular aerobic exercise.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

See MD: Non painful abdominal swelling: your doctor could inform you to origin at worst, and relieve you at best. Anxiety never helps any condition, only exacerbates it. Good luck!

Question 5

how come i have a stomach bulge in the midst of trying to build ab muscle?

Accepted Answer

Improper form: When doing ab exercises you must contract(hold in) your stomach very tight. Otherwise, you are building muscle outword. Also, you have to diet and do lots of cardio to eliminate belly fat or the increased size of your abdominal muscles will push the fat outwards.Also, you have to vary the exercises you do as your body quickly adapts. Diet is also very important. Avoid carbs , protein is your friend.

Question 6

i get a bulge in middle of stomach when doing situps?

Accepted Answer

Ventral hernia: This could be a ventral hernia (weakness in the abdominal wall).  If it is painful or doesn't go away you need to seek formal medical evaluation.

Question 7

does a bulging disc  cause pain the the  upper left  stomach ?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: Patients with thoracic lateral discs complain of pain that wraps around their back and can go to the abdomen region.  Usually when it comes from a thoracic disc it is a sharp shooting type pain.  However if you have only left upper abdominal pain this may not have anything to do with a disc as several other things can cause this. Please see your pmd.

Question 8

a skin bulge only on left side of stomach, should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Like all masses. It depends. How long hs it been there? Has it been changing in size or shape? Is it truly only your skin?
If its your body habitus than there is nothing to worry about, if its something else is best to have it checked out.

Several things can: Cause this.  One, particularly in children, they suffer from something known as Kwashiorkor - which is a severe form of protein-calorie deficiency.  It can lead to fluid in the belly - known as ascites - and enlarged livers, both which can make bellies more prominent.
