A member asked:
Is it possible to feel vena cava? i can feel something hard when i press deeply. hurts a lot. mid abdomen
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not the cava: Like any other vessel your cava should be soft and compressible. I am not sure otherwise what else you can feel, but a distended bowel loop may feel hard sometimes.
