What could cause a lump in the lower right abdomen?

Answer by  kdem (551)

Could be a number of things including a blockage in the intestines. If you are female this could also be an ovarian cyst which will more than likely resolve on it's own or with a antibiotic treatment. A tumor could also be the source whether malignant or benign. Better have it checked by a doctor to rule out cancer.

It would depend on the patient. I would think that a lump in the lower right abdomen would be either a hernia or possibly an inflamed appendix. When I was pregnant, it was my daughter's knee!!
