Ok to feel bulge: Many people, especially those with flatter abdomen and less abdominal fat, will feel or see a slight bulge in the lower abdomen due to large bowel swelling or distention. It is most common in the lower left abdomen just before the colon enters the pelvis on its way to the rectum. If this is what you felt, it is normal.
