Lump in inguinal area
Common Questions and Answers about Lump in inguinal area
lump
Your description of a lump in the inguinal / femoral area that decreases when you lie down, and increases when you stand is a classic description of a "hernia". This term refers to the protrusion of a part of abdominal content (usually intestine) through a weak spot on the abdominal wall. Surgical correction of the abdominal wall defect is usually required.
Please have a surgeon evaluate you quickly.
All the best, and God Bless!
It is not uncommon to have fat containing inguinal hernia which is benign. Also lipomas can also occur in that area that is also a benign finding. Lymphadenopathy would certainly need to be ruled out in the case of a lump that you feel but it seems that CT did not detect any enlarged lymph nodes. CT is probably the most accurate in this case.
Hello,
Symptoms of penile cancer vary and include redness, irritation, a sore on the penis or a lump on the penis as its chief symptoms. In stage 3 penile cancer, the inguinal lymph nodes are involved but they remain mobile. It may present with inguinal lymhadenopathy and a FNAB (fine needle aspiration biopsy) of the lymph node may need to be done.
19 ys old, Had some pain on right side near my penis when lightly pulling foreskin. Not to sure how to describe this..... the lump is maybe the size of a pea cut in half. It is under my pubic hair and I can move it around slightly. It is not visible at all and I can only feel it if I put my finger next to my penis and push up threw my scrotum skin. Like I said it's hard to describe... The only thing I can find on the internet that is close to it is the superficial inguinal lymph node.
Men are much more likely to develop an inguinal hernia than women because of a potential weakness in the abdominal wall at the groin. If a lump in the scrotum is an inguinal hernia, the impulse from a cough may be felt in the scrotum. "
"A soft lump in the scrotum, especially if you can get your fingers between it and the testicle, is most likely to be a hydrocele. This is a collection of sterile fluid in the cord attached to the testicle, which is invariably harmless.
The pain in the area you specified can be due to various reasons beyond the scope of diagnosis on net without a clinical examination. The various causes are epididymitis, testicular torsion, or infected epididymal cyst. Varicoceles too at times cause scrotal pain. An ultrasound of the testiclular area and scrotum can be done to diagnose this.
Please discuss this with your doctor (preferably an urologist). You may also need to get a urine exam done.
So basically. Probably Been a month or so, but I’ve noticed this limp area that’s in the skin around my leg/thigh and my vagina area. Sometimes I’ll accidently scratch the area and it’ll hurt a lot and I am reminded that it’s there. It doesn’t usually hurt if I’m walking and whatnot until I actually touch it. I don’t know what to do to be honest.

That's a big guess, of course.
Stop trying to squeeze it, and let a doctor check it out. Let us know what happens.
The feeling is one of having a painful lump in the inguinal area that feels very heavy and painful with pain radiating down the outer front of my thigh. I have had numerous MRI's, pelvic ultrasound (hernias have not returned) and still no diagnosis or resolution to the groin pain. I am not longer able to exercise as I would like. Walking is my main form of exercise and I have too much pain to walk very far.
Discomfort may not only be present in the inguinal area, but may also radiate into the hip region, back, leg or even down towards the genitalia region as referred pain.
I feel that an examination by a general surgeon will be the best.
Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep us posted on how you are doing.
I recently went to the GP, because I had a lump on my penis, he told me it was a boil. (I also had a swollen inguinal Lymph node).
He gave me antibiotics, which have reduced the boil alot, and it is healing fine.
However: under the skin, near the boil, I can feel a mass, sort of like a tube, that leads away from the boil, and into my pubic area.
It really hurts, and causes a harsh tugging/snagging feeling sometimes.
Any ideas what on earth this could be?
You sound like my son (said with kindness). Also a soccer player and also so tempted to play through pain. Groin injuries are common in soccer. It could be a sports hernia. It could also be a healing pulled groin muscle. Does the pain increase with exertion?
I had surgery to remove a swollen inguinal node and one in my axillary region. All of the pathology came back negative. However, at the inguinal site, a large lump or hematoma has arisen. It is the size of a large olive under the incision site. I saw my surgeon yesterday and he said it "should" subside. He suggested heat compress. I did that last night and it seems the lump has almost enlarged. How long does it take for this type of swelling to subside?
I am a 32 year old female and I didn't notice any pain when I woke up this morning. Around 8pm I started feeling some pain whenever one of my kids climbed on me. It is in my left inguinal/groin area. There is a lump under the skin about 1' in diameter. It is very tender to the touch and hurts when I walk. Is this something I need to have checked out?
Unilateral inguinal hernia, for anyone with similar symptoms. Guess I got lucky mine happens to be painless at the moment.
My hamster Elvis, has a lump that keeps popping out of his right testicle. It doesn't hurt him when i touch it, he's eating and active as he normally would be.
the lump is the same colour as his testicles.
I was thinking, could it be one of his testicles moving into the other side so he has two in sack, as to say.
