How do I know if it's a hernia?

I had the flu all last week and coughed and sneezed for about four days straight. Now I have to bulges by my incision - one near the bottom and the other near the top. They don't hurt at all and you can only see them or feel them when my stomach muscles are tightened. Any ideas ??
