A member asked:
What is this not on the bottom of my sternum. and why dose it take me 3 min to finish peeing sometimes.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Xiphoid process : The xiphoid process is a small cartilaginous extension of the lower part of the sternum (breast bone). It's one of the last bones to ossify in the adult human & people in their 20's-40's may be surprised to feel a lump in this region. Cancer in this area is possible but rare.
