A member asked:

I have a small lump in the middle of my top abs where there is no muscle in the middle?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need to examine: Can you push the lump into the belly? If you can, it is likely a hernia. It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without taking additional history, and physical examination.

Dr Ott and another doctor agreed
