default
Posted on Mon, 29 Jun 2015
Question: I have a raised oval bump on the left side of my pernium when I urinate or have a bowel movement. It does not hurt. Do I have a hernia? Would this have something to do with me not being able to empty my bladder?

Possibility of Inguinal Hernia has to be ruled out.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for your query.

Raised oval shaped lump and incomplete emptying of bladder is mostly due to Left Inguinal Hernia secondary to Enlarged Prostate which is common at this age.However it can be confirmed only on clinical examination by a qualified General Surgeon or Urologist.

Please consult qualified Urologist for clinical and digital rectal examination and get following basic test done to confirm the diagnosis.
1) Urine Routine
2) Ultrasound Scanning of abdomen and pelvis with specific mention of post void urine volume.
3) Serum PSA.
4) Uroflometry

Further treatment will depend upon the results of these tests and final diagnosis.

Hope I have answered your query.Please feel free to ask if you have more questions I shall be happy to help you.
Thanks and Regards.
