Brief Answer:
Could be a hernia!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this bulge. I will suggest that you get it examined. The fact that it makes noise when you drink means it contains intestines. This is is very suggestive of a hernia. This should be examined by your doctor and managed accordingly. A primary care doctor would be a good start.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
