Question: I'm 26 weeks pregnant with twins and just noticed a small soft moveable lump under the skin in my groin (in the crease where my trunk meets my leg) it doesn't hurt so much but it is uncomfortable and have been having discomfort in the area (left side) for a few days
Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Hi
I read your query and I understand your concerns.
The lump you say appear to be an inguinal hernia. The chances of it are high especially in twin pregnancies where abdominal pressure is increased.
Please see your gynecologist or a surgeon to get examined and confirm diagnosis.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Regards
Dr. Mahesh Koregol
