Question

I’ve been feeling bloated for a long time, with a hard lump palpable when pressed, and my appetite has decreased. I had taken traditional Chinese medicine for an inflammation issue and it slightly alleviate , but the condition has worsened again. What could be the medical condition?

Answer

Based on your description, long-term stomach bloating with visible abnormal lumps suggests a high possibility of a digestive disease, and it cannot be ruled out that it could be a tumor. It is recommended to undergo a colonoscopy as soon as possible for an accurate diagnosis.
