I am a power lifter and about a month ago I went to workout felt fine all day went to bed woke up and I had pain/discomfort i my lower abdmominal/pelvic region, I had felt this eritation before but is went away with rest and time but this time its been about a month and a half, I have no buldge, but do feel discomfort/pain when coughing, working, going to the rest room 1 and 2. I guess what I realy want to know is it a hernia or a strain? Should I seek medical attention? I am not vomiting and I do not have blood in my urin or in the stool what is it and what should I do?
