The slight sensation in your lower left abdomen while bending could be due to various reasons. Here are a few possibilities:

Digestive issues: Constipation, gas, or indigestion can cause discomfort in the lower abdomen.

Muscle strain: Bending can put strain on the abdominal muscles, leading to a sensation of tightness or discomfort.

Hernia: A small hernia in the abdominal wall can cause a sensation of discomfort or pressure when bending.

Kidney issues: A kidney stone or infection can cause discomfort in the lower abdomen, although this is often accompanied by pain.

It's essential to consult a MD MEDICINE to determine the cause of the sensation and rule out any underlying conditions.
