I am a 69 year old male with a swelling in the lower right abdomen, it doesn't cause any pain, there is no bleeding on the toilet. If I palpate it it feels like liquid, and if I push on it it goes away. I keep fit walk a lot, still work live in Nigeria, although from UK.

I try to eat healthy don't smoke, but do drink a couple of beers on evening. The swelling is like and size of a sausage bit rounder. And appears to be in Caecum region. I work in film and TV training need to be fit carrying cameras and such

Hi arthur33690

Suggest you get your 'swelling' checked by a doctor-it sounds like it could be a cyst which is full of fluid- don't take any chances with your body! (I am not a doctor and am only guessing by how you have explained the problem.)

See a doctor -and let him palpate the area himself to see what he may need to do-

I would get it checked out by your doctor. It could be a hernia. My guess is that it is unlikely to be bowel cancer (they start inside the bowel though secondaries would be outside)

Hope you have a doctor available in Nigeria.

I agree with the others, you need to be checked out by a doctor.  Any unexpected lumps etc need to be examined. Even though they may not be cancer, and the one that you have doesn't look like this, they represent something unexpected and undesirable.
