When you cough, your abdominal muscles contract to help expel air from the lungs. This repetitive action can lead to muscle strain, causing pain or discomfort in the lower abdomen. It's similar to how muscles might feel after an intense workout. However, the pain from coughing isn't just limited to muscle strain. In some cases, intense coughing can aggravate existing conditions like inguinal hernias or even cause new health issues.
