Hi! Welcome to HealthcareMagic! Thanks for sharing your concerns with us. We will try to help you in best way possible. First of all, it is sad to know what you had been experiencing lately.
Based on the history you have shared, it seems to be inguinal hernia most probably based on the discription too, however for confirmation it needs to be examined by a surgeon and may need Ultrasound of the swelling to know the exact contents.
The underlying layers of abdominal wall may losen up a bit and inner contents are pushed out under the skin as an out pouch, and that's what leads to the formation of hernias.
Treatment is almost always surgical correction with mesh repair. Wishing you a healthy life ahead. Hope this has answered your query, If you have any more questions, feel free to ask. Regards.
