A doctor has provided 1 answer

Bulge: When you make that maneuver your abdominal rectus muscles probably pull apart causing a bulging out of your upper abdomen simulating a hernia and when you relax your abdomen the rectus muscles close and the bulge disappears while a growth or mass won't. A physician can check this for you if you still have concerns.
