Q: does a pulled internal oblique muscle cause a bulge like lump in abdomen?

: You may have a ventral hernia. The pulled muscle is present with tender and discomfort with coughing or deep breathing, less likely a localized bump. A lump due to hernia may increase the size with straining or coughing. You should be checked by a physician.

A member asked:

The lower-left quadrant of my abdomen sticks out 5-10mm further than the right. No lumps or bumps, just a diffuse bulge. Occasionally a little sore like a runner's side-stitch. I'm lean and feel healthy. Should I see a doctor? Worried it's a tumor.
