I've recently noticed that my stomach looks lopsided on the left hand side, I cant feel any lumps and nothing sticks out, just looks like that side (Left) is slightly bigger?
is this a sign of something sinister?
I've already had doctors feel my stomach about 6/8 times and all felt nothing
But surely my stomach/Tummy area should be the same not lopsided , almost like im twisting my body to the left
im very worried and stressing and anxiety is kicking in!!

I’m in the same boat. I was told I have IBS last month and I keep feeling stomach pains and I’m like “really?” “I’ve never had IBS before”
It’s comforting to know someone else has the same anxiety

Its more or less what I said hunny,wind constipation,irritable bowel syndrome will cause it.Try and relax sweetie and think of other things.Take care Laura xx
If you really study your body you'll find that few things are symmetrical. For example, I have one nostril slightly larger then the other and one side of my lip is higher then the other side. One breast is larger than the other etc, etc...................this isn't freaky, it's absolutely normal.
We're made from flesh and blood in our mother's womb, not cut to a precise shape by machine, so everything is slightly (or in some cases VERY) uneven. The organs in one side of your tummy are quite different to those on the other side, so imagine wrapping them in a parcel.............it wouldn't be even would it ?
As others have said, this is part of your anxiety state ; nothing sinister. Stop studying your anatomy and maybe ask your GP for an antidepressant which targets phobic thoughts.

Have you had any children? My belly button points to the right now after having my son, he primarily stayed to the left so that side is full of stretch marks and hangs a bit more while my belly button is still in no-man's land off on the right side two years later.
Fat in our bodies deposits differently as we age as well, definitely not evenly.
Hello, firstly I realise that you wrote this post a long time ago so I hope you don’t mind me asking this, but I’ve just recently discovered the same issue with my stomach and it has me feeling quite anxious about it. I am curious if you had any more issues with your stomach or if it was ok? I hope you don’t mind me asking and I understand if you don’t want to reply at all. For more information, I haven’t found any lumps at all and my doctor didn’t either. I hope to hear back from you, thank you.
I'm having this. Whole belly is bigger on the right and feels uncomfortable. It's been like this for a year now almost. But not really sure when it started, just randomly noticed one day. I had learned to just ignore it but few days ago it started to cause me a lot of anxiety. I don't think it's anything because it didn't really get worse in the last year but I want to get an ultrasound or something done now.
