Is A Pop On Lower Abdomen A Symptom Of Hernia?

Posted on Mon, 8 Aug 2016

Question: I was on a bicycle ride yesterday and felt a pop in my lower abdomen. I do not see any bumps and it doesn't hurt to hold my testicals and cough. Could this be something else besides a hernia?

NO need to be worried!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this pop sound. I have reviewed your information fully and there is really no need to get worried about it. The cough test is negative and there are no other symptoms and there is no reason to be more worried. There is no possibility of a hernia here.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask of more information and clarifications if need be.

Thank you for the quick response. While there is no pain, it does feel tender in the area that popped. Could it be a pulled muscle?

Probably but pain medications would be enough!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

if you are in pain at this site, I recommend that you take pain medications and follow through with this. I will recommend tylenol at a dose of 1g thrice daily. Keep me updated with your progress.

I wish you well.
