Ultrasound check: Hello. There are multiple causes but it is important to rule one out, which is an abdominal Hernia. why? Because if that´s the case, with the time it can get incarcerated and/or strangulated and those are surgical emergencies. I recommend, as it is a slight discomfort now, to perform an abdominal ultrasound and get medical evaluation.

Abdominal hernia: As you describe it, it could be an hernia. I would recommend to attend a surgeon consult, as it could become an urgency in case the vascularization could be compromised in some point. The surgery to correct it is fast and with low risks (all this depends on the size of the defect and other patient factors).
