Gross question: could this lump be poop?

Asked by eferrara (145points) October 9th, 2013

I have this weird lump that popped up in my lower abdomen about 10 days ago. It’s quite large and feels kind of like it’s sausage-shaped. I had dental surgery recently and was taking codeine, so naturally I was constipated. However, I’ve been off the codeine for 5 days. Usually I poop multiple times a day, but for the past few days I’ve only gone twice. Both times it looked like rabbit stools (small, pebble like) and bloody, which is maybe because I’m straining? I’m not in any pain, but starting to get a little concerned. Could it be a large piece of poop that got stuck somewhere that I’m feeling? Sorry it’s kind of a gross topic.
