I am getting a bulge near my groin that disappears on its own for the past few months. Kindly help me.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

This is likely to be a small inguinal hernia, and it appears with increasing intraabdominal pressure, then disappear, and pain disappears. It is at its initial stage; therefore, you get fine automatically with time. If it becomes bigger, it will be more prominent and might need to be reduced manually. For diagnosis of early hernia, you will need an ultrasound of the groin. A hernia results from weakness of abdominal wall muscle or due to constant high pressure due to abdominal distention or constipation. Last but not least, cause, especially for people below 40 years, will be congenital. Hernia needs to be corrected surgically, but a clear diagnosis is important.

Please follow up with the ultrasound result so I can proceed with further advice.

If you have any more queries, please let me know.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

No, it is not urgent, and you can do it any time in two months or three months time. But treatment is mandatory as it can get obstructed if you leave it over the years, then it will be an emergency. But at the moment, it is not an emergency, and you can wait till you complete the evaluation to confirm the diagnose.

I hope this was helpful.
