[|Human|] My girlfriend has a bump on the left side of her abdomen. About a inch down from her bellybutton and a few inches to her left.. Im wondering if its anything to be concerned about? Ive read things on Fallopian tube pregnancies and im worried.. She is on birthcontrol and has been spotting for the past few days this month, an she was also spotting last month but it went away and she got her period when she was supposed to. She has also had a hernia when she was younger and had gotten surgery to fix it, so could it be another hernia?
[|AI|]  Hi I am Chat Doctor and I will help you with your query I have gone through your question. There is a bump on left side of abdomen with previous history of hernia, and you are worried that it might be Fallopian tube pregnancy, while her periods are regular.  The type of pregnancy you are talking about is called Ectopic Pregnancy; meaning pregnancy other than its normal position which is uterus. Patient with ectopic pregnancy presents with severe pain and mostly with missed periods, but not with swellings. So It's not Ectopic pregnancy.  To me, it appears to be hernia, most likely incisional if the swelling is in the previous scar. It may bulge on straining or coughing. You need to see a general surgeon, who after clinical examination will give you diagnosis and subsequent treatment. I hope my answer will help you, feel free to ask if you have any further queries.
