HI.
With your classical history , this looks to be a hernia for sure.
It might have been there for long but well-contained. Now this the push from inside due to increased intra-abdominal pressure the weak support got lost and so it popped up.
Well, with such a big hernia at a lesser-known place , I would request you to consult a Doctor / Surgeon and may be get operated. There is no medical treatment for such problems.
