I am a 40 yr old female and two years ago I had a baby boy through cesearan. Since then, I can feel a lump on the left lower side of my abdominal and two days before my menstrual the lump starts hurting severely. My menstrual lasts for three days and the lump continuosly hurts 4 to 5 days afterward. This problem has been ongoing after I came home from the delivery. Only the last months in the year 2011 have the pain became unbareable that I had to go to the ER one night during the starting of my period. I had a inside and outside ultrasound done and they could not tell me what the lump was or why it was causing so much pain. The only information they could give was it is a mass of some sort that they could not identify, even after looking at the ultrasound results. ?? I am a stay at home mom and my husband is a disable veteran (not 100%) and right now I am unable to afford health insurance at this time. If there is anyone who could share some information on this matter so that I can get relief to whether this is a serious situtation or is this normal after a c-setion, "please" comment. Thank you.

I'm not sure what it could be, maybe scar tissue. Are you having any other symptoms during the month? The best thing to do is see your Gynecologist.
