I know it is too late but in case someone needed a similar advice. I don’ think you should do any exertion until you have your hernia checked (or whatever the lumps is).
I too have one in the abdominal area and my doctor told me to push it back and that surgery is not needed at the moment. However, whenever I laugh harder, it goes out again.
However, not all hernias are like that, some do need surgical intervention and all tend to become serious. If your lump won’t go back inside, it means it is irreducible and you should have it checked at the emergency.
Hernia can be life-threatening as it may lead to strangulation ie cutting blood supply of the intestine and lead to gangrene in the bowels within six hours.
So, if you can’t push the lump back in, please see a doc asap. It doesn’t mean that you will develop strangulation, but exertion may only add to it. You should also know that every strangulation occurred in irreducible hernias.
