Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Based on the description you have given, it appears that you are having hernia, most probably looks like direct hernia.
It needs to be assessed clinically and you may need to undergo ultrasound scan if necessary.
If it is hernia, it cannot be managed conservatively as it might land up in dreadful complications like inspissated hernia and intestinal obstruction.
Hence, it needs to be operated surgically.
Kindly consult Surgeon for proper evaluation and appropriate management.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
