A member asked:

Popping sensation in lower left abdomen after sneeze or excessive flexing ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Robert Uyeda answered

Could be: an inguinal hernia, so have your doctor look at it. Hernias are abdominal wall defects that require surgical repair when they become symptomatic.
