What causes a feeling of lump and fullness in the abdominal area?
Patient: while on the hcg diet drops, I start having abdominal swelling  and back and side  pain.  However, I was not sticking exactly to the hcg diet.  And it seems I began feeling soft lumps in my abdominal and feeling of fullness.  I didn;t like this feeling. Is it due to not following with the diet exaclty or what? Doctor: Hi,problems with transit or intestinal motility, inappropriate diet poor in vegetables and fibres, intestinal occlusion are common causes. Stool exam and culture, clinical review, abdominal ultrasound and colonoscopy might be required to make an appropriate diagnosis. Kind regards
