Brief Answer:
Inguinal hernia.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Most likely your symptoms are caused by inguinal hernia. Due to a kind of hole in the abdominal wall intestines and fat are protruded in to a groin area. It usually gives a lump and/or pain in that area. The lump can be more visible when standing and coughing and disappear when laying down.
I suggest you to consult general surgeon. In case of doubts ultrasound should be done.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
