The soft flabby lump which is noticeable when you stand and disappears when you lie down. As described by you could be a hernia. Get examined by a surgeon. After examination, he may advise you some confirmatory investigations. Treatment is straightforward once the diagnosis is made.

Dear lybrate-user, Hello. Your lump, which is felt in standing position and reduces/ vanishes in sleeping position can be due to Hernia. (Most possibly Inguinal Hernia). It is due to loosened abdominal muscle wall. For this, you have to get yourself checked from a general surgeon. Ultra sonography of abdomen will also help to establish the diagnosis. Treatment will be decided as per the underlying cause. Have a nice day.
