Have you shown that bulging out to your doctor? That really sounds like a hernia.

Though a hernia does not need to be associated with pain. Mine is unremarkable for 5 years now, it is above the belly button and it bulges out when a pressure builds up inside. For example when doing a movement as you described.

But that mild pain may also be related to scar tissue, as your doctor suspected.
