There is a hard lump just below the belly button in women

The female body structure is very unique, especially the physiological structure of women. Therefore, if there is a lump below the belly button, it is generally necessary to pay attention to it to prevent it from being caused by a disease that is harmful to your health. If this lump has persisted for a long time, it is best to see a doctor for relevant examinations to find out the cause.

If a woman has a large hard lump just below her belly button and this large lump is in the pelvis, it is necessary to consider whether it is caused by abnormal enlargement of the uterus or a mass in the pelvis. The most common ones are adenomyosis or uterine fibroids, but neither of them rules out the possibility of ovarian cancer. For women who have had sex without taking any contraceptive measures and whose menstruation has not stopped for more than three months, pregnancy should also be considered. Therefore, if a large lump appears below the belly button, you should see a doctor immediately for a gynecological examination and B-ultrasound to diagnose the actual cause. If it is caused by uterine fibroids, surgery is usually required to remove the uterine fibroids.

Are uterine fibroids serious?

Uterine fibroids are a relatively common malignant tumor. They are also one of the common tumors in the body. Most patients are middle-aged and elderly women.

Most patients with uterine fibroids have no symptoms and generally do not cause pain. Patients usually only discover them during gynecological examinations or B-ultrasound examinations.

The appearance of uterine fibroid symptoms is related to the location and growth rate of the uterine fibroids. The most common symptoms are decreased menstrual cycles, increased menstrual flow or prolonged menstrual periods. Other symptoms include abdominal lumps. Some patients can touch some actual lumps in the lower abdomen by themselves, especially when they wake up in the morning and their bladders are full, the lumps are more obvious.

Because uterine fibroids generally have no symptoms, to prevent uterine fibroids, regular gynecological examinations should be performed to facilitate the early detection of small uterine fibroids. Smaller tumors can be checked regularly, while larger tumors should be proactively addressed. Even if a woman has undergone myomectomy, regular follow-up is still necessary because uterine fibroids may recur.
