Question 1

hello, i'm 16 years old and just recently i noticed a small marble shaped lump near my pelvic area. i'm a girl and this has never happened to me befor?

Accepted Answer

Likely lymph node: That lump you are feeling is almost certainly a lymph node. We have thousands of these in iur bodies. They enlarge for numerous reasons, most commonly because of irritation or infection in that area. So one enlarged in pelvic region could even be from a scrape or bug bite on your leg. If it bothers you, have a doctor check it out to see if you need any specific treatment.

Question 2

i am experiencing a lump near my pelvic area on my left side i got a bilateral inguinal hernia. had surgery on my left side been about 5 weeks since.

Accepted Answer

Post -op pelvic bump: F/u/ w/ surgeon. Call today.  Check that not seroma ( accumulation of fluid) or abscess - though that would be more painful -or recurrence

Question 3

lumps in pelvic area,  not painful.  my dr thinks it's due to shaving,  but would this still be the cause if its underneath the skin? not on my skin?

Accepted Answer

LumpyBumpyGrumpy: If it is due to shaving, then what happens is that those little hairs, after being shaven-down, lose their sense of direction (they don't have GPS yet) and get stuck just beneath the skin. Then they get pissed off and try harder but can't break back through or, actually grow in really screwy directions. That causes irritation and bumps. Some people are just prone to it: armpits, pubies, face (men)

Question 4

i have a lump in my lower left pelvic area and i noticed it a day ago. it doesn't hurt except when i press down. it's not big but it does feel like i can rook it around, what could this be? and should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Needs evaluation: Lumps, bumps, blisters and other skin abnormalities on the genitals need to be evaluated. An examination will be needed to know the cause and treatment. We need to know what it is you are referring to before any treatment options can be discussed. An Obgyn should be able to provide some direction after visualizing the area.

Question 5

i can feel lumps in my pelvic area on my right side that i done feel on my left side what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: But a guess would be lymph nodes

Question 6

big lump on right side of pelvic area only. it aches a little after i press on it. what is this?

Accepted Answer

Can't tell : But it sounds like  it should be evaluated since it is painful . It could just be a swollen gland that will go away but see a doc

Question 7

a lump in pelvic area and difficult urinating?

Accepted Answer

Go see ur Family Doc: Unfortunately, pelvic area is pretty vague as far as lumps go so it's best that you see your Family Doc for evaluation. Perhaps you have a urinary tract infection (either bladder or kidney) or a sexually transmitted disease (where lump represents swollen gland). Usually these infections lead to painful perhaps even frequent urgent urination. Bottom line, go see your Family Doc, GYN or Planned Pare

Question 8

i have a lump that is tender on left side of pelvic area, any thoughts?

Accepted Answer

Possible lymph node: If you are referring to your genital area near the groin, this could be a swollen lymph node. Lymph nodes serve as "filters" for your immune system and may become inflammed when ever there is an infection or irritation in a nearby area. In general, the lymph system drains down and towards the center of the body. So anything like "jock itch", etc, could cause a painful swelling.

Question 9

i have a lump on my pelvic area on the left side it hurts when i put pressure  on it what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Lump: This cannot be diagnosed long distance. See a doctor and have this examined. Good luck and best wishes.

Question 10

hello i have a lump in my pelvic area possibly about the size of a golf ball at time is painful! is this something to be alarmed about?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Anything the size of a golf ball, that wasn't there in the past, and isn't suppose to grow there, should be worried about. The "pelvic area" doesn't describe exactly where the golf ball is, so a primary care doctor can look to see where it really is. Possibilities include:  hernia, enlarged lymph node, cyst, etc...
