What Causes A Lump On The Right Side Of The Groin?

Hi, I am female and I recently noticed a small lump in my right groin area. In the past couple of weeks I have noticed that it has become noticably enlarged on occasion (and visible from the surface) before reducing to its original size. It is pain less but I am not sure what it is and whether it needs to be checked.

welcome to Health care magic.

1.The most commonly seen in this area are lymph nodal mass - they are enlarged due to presence of underlying infections and inflammations.anatomically it skin
2.The second chance could be vascular dilatation ( in competent venous channel)
3.The possible chances are hernia ( in terms of your explanation - no pain reduces on the size) little higher to the groin area.
4. When you have the lumps, get an ultrasound lumps done - helps in identification of nature of lump, its origin and extensions.

Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
