Could this be a hernia?

I have had problems lately when I get up from a sitting position. I'll get like a cramping sensation on the right lower side of my abdomen, and it feels almost as if something is pushing out and I have to lean forward and put serious pressure on it with my hand to get it to relax. It's extremely painful. Any ideas?

    I'm not a general surgeon, but that does sound very much like a hernia, just the "pushing out" description practically gives it away. See your doctor right away, hernias are surgically repairable, trust me you want to get it repaired, it will degrade your quality of life. Good luck
