The United States has by far the largest correctional system in the world. It is so large, in fact, so sprawling and dispersed, so administratively complex that just how many people are incarcerated is uncertain. The most commonly cited statistic is that are about 2.3 million inmates on any given day.
Most often, a lump in the abdomen is caused by a hernia. An abdominal hernia occurs when there is a weak spot in the abdominal wall. This allows the internal organs to bulge through the muscles of the abdomen. A hernia may appear after you strain, or lift something heavy, or after a long period of coughing. Inguinal hernia appears as a bulge in the groin or scrotum.
Gall stones may also cause inflammation of the organ due to the blockage of the bile duct. The inflammation is characterized by severe and constant pain in the upper right abdomen, which may radiate to your back. The patient may also experience fever, chills, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting.
