What Causes Lower Abdominal Pain After Weight Lifting?

Hello, IM feeling pain in lower abdominal after weight lifting, especially after putting heavier weights (squats). Could it be hernia? Or something else?I m 23 year old female didn t have any injuries before. I m scared now if I did some damage for my body and if it requires a surgery. Thank you

Hi,
Pain while lifting weight does not indicate hernia.
This might be due to strain and spasm of abdominal muscles producing this pain.
If there is bulging in abdomen or in inguinal region while lifting weight might show developing hernia.
So please clarify about your problem so that I can give answer exactly.
Ok and take care.
