HEALTH TIPS – If a lump has developed in this particular part of your body, here’s what you need to know about this occurrence.
A lump is a swelling in certain part of the body and can occur just anywhere. Other terms used to call this is bump, nodule, contusion, tumor, and cyst. Accordingly, it can be caused by infections, inflammation, tumors or trauma and could be single or multiple, soft or firm, and painful or not.
According to post from Doc Liza Ong, there are certain lumps in the body that are not dangerous such as the lump in the stomach as this could just be a bone, the lump in the throat of a man because this is the Adam’s Apple, and lipoma.
Not serious lumps are usually soft, moving, and located in superficial or fat layer of skin. Meanwhile, if you have lumps that grow over time may indicate more serious conditions such as tumors. As per Doc Liza, it would be safe if a surgeon examines your lump just to be sure. Regular check up goes a long way to live longer and keep the body healthy.
