Answer 1

Hernia.

Answer 2

I don't know never happend before and I have never heard of that before.... Maybe you were just straining to hard... but if you are fine now then I wouldn't worry about the lump.

What I would worry about, however, is that you have to strain. That means you are not getting enough fiber in your diet. Eat more fruits. It will help. Also, If you start seeing blood in your bowels while straining I would see a doctor because you most likely have hemroids.

Answer 3

it could have been gas it happens in your chest too.

Answer 4

Its a hernia, it will come and go with straining at stool or lifting heavy objects, it should be taken care of before you decide to become pregnant as that will put a strain on it.

Its not usually serious, but do have it evaluated.

It will not disappear permanently on its own
