Been doing 225 for sets since last month on squat and tried using a belt since I had problems with my lower back. Went for a 275 single which flew up easy, but felt a strong burning sensation in my lower right abdomen/pelvic area. Almost where the leg meets the pelvis. This only started happening when I tried a belt on for the first time and my form has always been great.

Side note: 275 is my strongest 1rm, the closest I've been to it was 245 about a month ago, and I go ATG. No pain after the lift, just strange strained feeling.

If you have a bulge from the intestines pushing out, you have a hernia. Other than that, you'd have to have a GP check you out to feel for weaknesses in the ab wall.
More than likely you strained the area and you'll be OK. The area you described is more likely a non-hernia injury unless it's right up on your scrotum.
One last bit bc /fit/ is fidget spinner-level autist. Belts do not prevent or cause hernias. You have a higher chance of them once you start lifting; but in return it's going to take a lot more to cause the injury than a non-/fit/ person
