Many small, round lumps felt under the skin of the lower abdomen
Feeling many small, round lumps under the skin of the lower abdomen may be caused by conditions such as fatty liver, lipomas, abdominal wall hernia, and others. Treatment should be based on the specific underlying condition.
1. Fatty Liver
Fatty liver is a common liver disease that can lead to abdominal obesity and the formation of small lumps. Patients need to modify their lifestyle through weight loss, abstaining from alcohol, and adopting a healthy diet.
2. Lipoma
A lipoma is a benign tumor that typically grows in subcutaneous tissue and can form round lumps under the lower abdominal skin. Treatment may involve medications such as diclofenac sodium sustained-release tablets or ibuprofen sustained-release tablets, under a doctor’s guidance.
3. Abdominal Wall Hernia
An abdominal wall hernia occurs when internal abdominal organs push through a weakness or defect in the abdominal wall, forming a bulge or lump, which may also appear as round lumps under the lower abdominal skin. Surgical removal under medical supervision is usually required.
Additionally, these lumps could also result from adipose nodules. Patients are encouraged to engage in regular physical activity such as running or fitness training. If numerous round lumps in the lower abdomen significantly affect daily life, prompt medical consultation is recommended for accurate diagnosis and treatment by a qualified physician.
