This sounds like a possible abdominal wall hernia. I recommend seeing your primary care provider to get a physical exam and determine whether you need further imaging.
Consult Urology. May need CT scan of abdomen and pelvis.
What you are describing could possibly be an inguinal hernia. If you get the bulge during other activities that strain the abdominal wall such as squatting or weight lifting, then you should be evaluated by a surgeon. Either way, you should probably discuss your symptoms with your primary care physician.
