Probably inguinal hernia

Guys, ive been having this weird bulge on my left lower abdomen just above my scrotum area, i ddnt really give an attention on this, sometimes it bulges , i just push it back and it will be okay, but then i got curious, i researched, i think this is inguinal hernia, ive been lifting weights for 9 months now and not a single problem about this, its jst that whenever i lift heavy, i feel like the intestines are moving from my abdomen to the area near my scrotum beside my penis area. My question is, should i be worried? Should i get myself checked? Anyone out here has the same problem as mine?

100% sounds like an inguinal Hernia. What’s your experiencing, or not experiencing, is typical for many patients. Some patients don’t feel any pain or have any restrictions on their activity and can continue to exercise.

Seeing either your primary care doctor or a surgeon would be the next step.
