A member asked:

What does it mean when your stomach is hard and it hurts to lay on it or slouch?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You need medical exa: Your belly should be checked by your doctor. It could be something serious. Anything that hurts to touch is something abnormal and must be checked out by a doctor.
