What causes a lump in the groin area?
Patient: just found out I have a lump on my groin area . Its the size of a walnut and this is the first time I noticed by taking a bath . I will be going to the doctor but could it be a herena . I am 68 years old and scared to find out if it is CANCER. just need a peace of mind thank you Doctor: Hi,From history it seems that you might be having direct inguinal hernia.At this age due to lax abdominal and pelvic floor muscle one gets hernia.There might be possibility of having enlarged inguinal lymph node as well./Nothing to worry about cancer.Consult surgeon and get examined.Ok and take care.
