yep this is like the only place to come for this! i am really freaked out are these any symptoms that you may have had before you had cysts or tumors?? i also posted in gastro....i am a 25 year old female in decent shape, i am slightly overweight and i eat a very healthy diet, and recently i noticed a lump below my belly button, at least an inch or two wide. it is hard and does not push in like a hernia. i can still feel it when i lay down, it is somewhat painful but not horrible, although i applied pressure to it this morning and i had a sudden feirce headache!!. i do not feel a pulse in it that i can tell. i have been amazingly tired for about a month, i threw up everything i ate the other day and last night i had very minor vaginal bleeding (but i know i am coming up on time to start..). the lump can be felt when a finger is placed in my belly button and slight downward pressure is applied, or even a flat hand laid on my belly button and some slight pressure applied and it is noticeable. i am really getting worried but i don't have any health insurance and i don't want to go to the doctor and be told i am constipated! i do seem to be have regular bowel movements, and the vomiting is not becoming a habit. i don't really think it is a hernia even thought it is in an area that is normally associated with umbilical hernias. could it be an ectopic pregnancy?????? i also have some breast tenderness but...like i said it is coming up on time for me to start......i would think it would be impossible to have one so high?? wouldn't it be closer to my fallopian tubes? WITH ALL OF UP HERE, DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY ANSWERS AT ALL????? just really worried, and i have also been urinating more frequently and breasts are tender and i have some lasting lower back pain
