What causes a lump on the right side of the groin?
Patient: Hi, I am female and I recently noticed a small lump in my right groin area. In the past couple of weeks I have noticed that it has become noticably enlarged on occasion (and visible from the surface) before reducing to its original size. It is pain less but I am not sure what it is and whether it needs to be checked. Doctor: welcome to Health care magic.1.The most commonly seen in this area are lymph nodal mass - they are enlarged due to presence of underlying infections and inflammations.anatomically it skin2.The second chance could be vascular dilatation ( in competent venous channel)3.The possible chances are hernia ( in terms of your explanation - no pain reduces on the size) little higher to the groin area.4. When you have the lumps, get an ultrasound lumps done - helps in identification of nature of lump, its origin and extensions.Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
