I have a bulge in lower abdomen that is soft when pushed and appears when i do a sit up or make that kind of motion. no pain. what is this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hernia: This certainly sounds like a ventral hernia: a separation of the abdominal muscles. permitting a bulging of the covering of the intestinal contents: mostly benign if not causing pain and quite common after abdominal surgery and or with excessive weight, obesity or weight gain.
