Could Swelling In Groin With Liquidy Feel Be Hernia?

hi doctor, i have a swelling in the groin for he past 4 years and it looks like a htdrocle/hernia. Please help me diagnose this and treat this. It has a liquidy feel and it goes down if I apply pressure when I lie down. It is rarely painful and is quite uncomfortable if I stand up or do some heavy duty work. Please advice as to whether I should go in for a surgery or not. I remember that one of my doctors had told me around 8 years back that I might have an inguinal hernia, but I did not have a swelling or pain back then. Please advice. I am in Chennai and It would be great if you could suggest a good surgeon that I can approach for treatment.

Hello,

You should approach a general surgeon at earliest because having pain and swelling over the area of hernia/hydrocele is not a good sign. Maybe he could suggest you medicinal treatment like antibiotics and painkillers for a few days, but the ultimate treatment option would be going for surgery.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr SHOBHIT KUMAR PRASAD, Psychiatrist
