Does Lumps In Pelvic Area With Dull Pain Suggest Herina?

Hi, I just examined my pelvic area, and i noticed a medium size lump, and I felt a dull pain. I work often like sit-ups and I run often. So can it be a hernia or something worse? i don t have insurance, and I am currently unemployed, I do not have the means to go see a doctor. What could be going on???

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi, what is your age? Please let me know the exact location of the lump. Is it restricted to above your groin crease or is it descending to your scrotum. Can you differentiate it from your testicles? Does it increase in size on straining or coughing? Is it soft to touch? If the answers are yes, then its probably an Inguinal hernia. The only treatment is Surgery. It can be confirmed by getting it examined by a Surgeon or you can get an Ultrasound done. Until you get a job and insurance, you should stop any exercise involving strain on your abdomen and avoid any strenuous exercises. Take care and feel free to ask any clarifications. You can also contact me on 'Ask a Specialist' icon.
