What Causes An Upper Abdominal Bulge After Doing Sit-ups?
My upper abdomen has a bulge especially when I am doing situps. What is this? Sometimes it hurts especially on my right side twisting. I work out 2-3 times a week for the past 25 years. I am 67 years old. Is this sports related? What can be done to improve it? Should I continue doing situps? Thanks you.

Hello,
It could be due to conditions like divarication of recti. Consult a general surgeon and plan for an ultrasound scan.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
