Yes, it can be. If you feel a sharp pain in your stomach while bending or lifting something heavy, it could be an early sign of a hernia.

In hernia, a part of the intestine or tissue pushes through a weak spot in the abdominal wall, which causes pain or a pulling sensation, especially during pressure activities like coughing, bending, or lifting. Sometimes, a small swelling or bulge may also appear in that area.

It’s important to get it checked by a surgeon early, because if left untreated, the hernia can increase in size or cause complications like blockage or strangulation.
