It shows up when I contract my stomach. Also this shows up when I try to get up from bed etc. Is this a lipoma?
Lipomas are fatty tumors that should be palpable with or without muscle- strain, (such as getting up from bed). Hernias, which are abdominal contents bulging through holes or weaknesses in the muscle wall of the abdomen, are very different, and they do bulge with muscle strain. these can become life threatening if the intestines get "trapped" in it. you should have this checked by a General Surgeon.
