how can it be that my abdominal region seems to be a little hard?

Question

Severe headaches, slight nausea, sensitive skin, lower abdomen pain, and marble sized hard mobile lump on left groin region hurts only when pressed..?

Answer 1

Constipation: The standard american diet does not have enough fiber so that most people do not completely empty there intestines although they can have daily bowel movements. When your intestines get a little backed up, your stomach can feel hard. You should try to drink at least 64 oz of water and take fiber supplements daily and it will probably improve. If it does not, see your doctor.

Answer 2

Constipation, etc...: A person who feels bloated (in the tummy) off and on is not normal, especially if the bloating is new. A doctor can evaluate to figure out the cause. Problems can be due to eating things the person cannot digest. Some parasites cause bloating. More serious causes of bloating include a build-up of fluid in the abdomen due to kidney disease, liver problems, heart failure, abdominal cancers, etc...

Answer 3

OK: This is constipation! a hi fiber diet, 20-25 grams of fiber per day, drink 80-`100 ounces of non caffeinated, non alcoholic fluids daily and increase your fluids if you do strenuous work or exercise. Do not use harsh laxatives. Excess fiber in the face of inadequate fluids will cause bloating and constipation.

Answer 4

It is rare: Some seizures produce certain symptoms before the actual epileptic phenomenon (aura). Rarely especially in children intermittent repeated short lived"attacks" occur the are either entirely related to GI symptoms or are preceded by these symptoms. They are termed abdominal epilepsy, if other causes are ruled out!?

Answer 5

Abdominal sedizures?: What is commonly called abdominal seizure is more likely a manifestation of migraine. The location of the driver of migraine headaches is immediately next to the vomiting and nausea center in the stem of the brain. Migraine is caused by inflammation, which may spread to the vomiting and nausea center.

Answer 6

No promise: Many people choose not to vaccinate their children for a variety of reasons. Do not trust the person who promises you she will be 'ok' if you don't vaccinate. The risk of serious illness, long term medical issues and death from vaccine preventable diseases is much higher than risk of adverse reaction from having the vaccines. You are gambling with your child's life, but it's your choice.

Answer 7

Deadly choice: Vaccines prevent illness ; death.In spite of the misinformation put out by vaccine haters, they are safe & effective. Cases of whooping cough (pertussis) have increased in the us from ~2500 in the mid 90's to over 40000 per year due to increases in unvaccinated infants ; children.This has resulted in > 30 preventable deaths, primarily in kids.

Answer 8

Scar over: I understand that you had abdominal surgery where metal clips were used inside your abdomen. Those are not dissolvable and will remain there. Granulation (scar) tissue will develop over those areas to wall them off from the surrounding environment, but they should be ok, otherwise.

Answer 9

Inert metal remains: Any staples intended to be left in place on intestine or blood vessels (for example) are made of inert metal that is well tolerated by the body. Over time a minor amount of scar tissue may cover them. Staples used to close an incision are different because they are intended to be removed after the incision heals.

Answer 10

Infection caused tumor: Immunosuppression lowers your immune defenses. One specific infection - the epstein barr virus can be a problem because it can stimulate 1 type of white blood cells, the b lymphocytes to grow uncontrollably. If this happens, treatment may include lowering (or stopping) immunosuppression, anti-viral medication and even chemotherapy.

Answer 11

Graft = Transplant: When we talk about transplant, the material that is transplanted is the graft. In your case, the bone is the graft. The type of transplant is a bone transplant. The other question is whether bone is being moved from somewhere else in your own body (an auto transplant), or from a deceased donor's body (an allo transplant).

URI: Upper Respiratory infections can involve the pharynx, larynx, nose or sinuses. Most are caused by viruses.

Answer 15

Exercise: By doing abdominal strengthening exercises such as sit-up, crunches in a repetious manner over time will strengthen your abdominal muscle.

Answer 16

Abdominal exercises: Simple situps can be just as effective if done repetitively, but for full core workouts, planks, yoga, pilates, even push-ups all give fuller, more total workouts than just situps. However, if you are just beginning a routine, start slow with situps and build up from there. Hope this helps!

Answer 17

Hernia repair: Hernia repair surgery is quite successful. It is a very common surgery. Your medical conditions, weight status, hernia size and location also has a factor on healing success.

Answer 18

Variable: It depends on the hernia, the technique and the surgeon. A small hernia, and a general surgeon with the appropriate training and experience should have a high probability of repair.
