What Causes A Lump In The Groin Area?

I have a lump in the groin area, I can touch it when I stand , when I lie down it disappears .
I can feel it inside this bubbly feeling it seem like something is there and is moving. When I get up is moving.I had it for about a year now and its getting worse now , every time I move I can feel it moving. Its on my left lower side, where your leg and trunk meets. I am scared that I have ovarian cancer.

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having direct reducible inguinal hernia.
Due to lax lower abdominal muscles and inguinal ring you got hernia.
Consult surgeon and get examined.
Do pelvic floor muscle exercise.
Avoid constipation and cough reflex.
Ok and take care.
