Bump On Left Side Of Lower Stomach, Uncomfortable. Hernia?

Yes my fiancé has a ping pong ball sized bump on her left side of her lower stomach. It is between her thigh and her pelvis. She is very worried that it could be a hernia since she had one as a child. When she lays flat on her back it is very noticable and becomes very uncomfortable. Do you have any idea what this could be?

Hi, the bump of the size of a ping pong ball in between the theigh and the pelvis. it usually must be due to the inguinal hernia, or a lymph gland due to some infection in the visinity.
you may need to have M.R.I. for diagnosis. So i advise you to consult a surgeon for diagnosis. What ever it may be she needs surgery, at least for diagnosis,by biopsy. Thank you.
