Strange Bump Left Side of Torso - hemiated organ or cancer? Posted: 10-28-07 15:11pm
Hello. I've noticed that a small bump has
appeared on the left side of my torso.
Although it has been going on for about
two years, and it is barely noticeable and
is spread over a relatively large area, it
does give me a sensation which can be
similar to that of pressure from inside my
torso.
I've been drinking cola quite heavily for
the last four years, and as I know it's
not exactly one of the healthiest
beverages around, my first thought was
that I have a tumor, or ,even worse,
cancer. But as I'm only 16, I think that
can be safely disregarded as the cause.
However, it sometimes causes mild pain in
the first few minutes after I drink a
cola, and even if it doesn't , it is much
easier to be felt. I've pressed against it
and it didn't hurt at all, no matter how
hard I try.
I've heard of the term hemiated organ ,
and seen pictures with people that had
such a "hemiated" organ. They had similar
bumps, but in far worse condition (the
bump was clearly visible, mine is only
barely noticeable, and that even when I
look down on it, sort of in a "landscape"
fashion).
So ...what could it be? Thank you for your
attention.

Soda does not cause cancer.
It could be a tumor of some kind, but I
assure you it wasn't caused by cola
I have no idea what it could be, though
I'd assume a herniated organ would be
incredibly painful. It is possible to have
non-cancerous tumors, but they should
still be removed. I'd have a doctor look
at it.
