What Causes Bulge In Lower Abdomen That Keeps Growing?

Hi, I believe I have had a hernia for many years. It stated while jogging at the age of 49. A small balloon type bulge popped out of my lower abdomen and I never went to a doctor. It got bigger and bigger and my abdomen now hangs. Sometimes when I move in certain ways, such as twisting my body or lifting my leg up to rest it, the pain is so severe. With both hands I press inward on my abdomen as hard as I can because I can actually feel my intestines moving.

welcome to Health care magic.
1.You yourself has given all the diagnosis, there is no question i could see in your description.
2.In this case. If you are my patient, i would have examine the area and ask for an ultrasound to measure the defect in the anterior abdominal wall, ( and to see the contents of the hernia and presence of any strangulation)
3.After that refer to the surgeon - as operation is the only treatment of choice in this case.
4.Mean while as a remedy i would recommend you not to lift heavy weights which may pressure effect.
5.See your doctor and get the needful investigations and treatment before it gets complicated.
Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
