I am feeling pain in the lower abdomen whenever I use weight lifting in gym and during exercises. What should I do for this?

Question

Dear lybrateuser, 
- Avoid lifting weights till pain subsides
- apply hot water fomentation bag to the affected area for 5 min 2-3 times a day
- take a pain relief tablet twice a day after meals to reduce pain
- once the pain subsides do not lift weight for further 4-5 days
- when you start use very light weight & increase gradually over a week or ten days
- do proper warming up before lifting & also cooling down by stretching after the exercise to reduce soreness.

Mr. lybrate-user, Please get checked your self for Hernia. This is what it sounds like. Pain can be for other reasons we'll. But the amount of info that you have provided is not enough to make a conclusion. If you wish to make a diagnosis more information is needed. Please visit a doctor or else you can chat or call me if you cannot visit a doctor for some reason.
