Dear Stefano,

You descending colon connects to the rectal vault in that area. A hernia will appear as a bulge when you cough or strain, does it bulge out or down into your groin? You might have diverticular problems-these are pouches in your colon that if they become filled with debris can become infected. It may be an irritable bowel problem. The only way to know for sure is to go to your health provider for an exam.

IT ALSO HURTS WHEN I BEND BACKWORDS BUT NOT FORWORD CAN THIS ALSO HAVE TO DO WITH THE COLON?

Bending backwards will stretch the tissues and may cause discomfort, where as bending forward will not stretch the area. A good physical exam will help pinpoint the problem, even a back disorder, like a slipped disk might cause discomfort to the front of your body. But, this would seen unlikely since you have discomfort when your press on the area. Please see your provider for an exam.
