Yes, it could be a hernia. If the lump below your stomach increases when you cough or stand and goes down when you lie flat, it’s likely that part of the intestine is pushing through a weak spot in the abdominal muscles.
This can’t be treated with medicines but is easily fixed through a simple laparoscopic surgery where a mesh is placed to close the hole. It’s a safe, one-day procedure, and you can return to normal activities soon after.
Don’t ignore it, as delaying treatment can make the hernia larger or cause the intestine to get trapped, which may lead to an emergency.
