General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi! Good morning. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

This could be just a hematoma (collection of blood) due to tear of muscle fibres during the situps which might get absorbed of its own in due course, OR an inguinal hernia which has presented itself in the pubic area. This could be diagnosed after a personal physical diagnosis of the lump along with the related investigations and so I would advise you to see a general surgeon in your area for this. Till then you could go for an anti inflammatory drug along with a proton pump inhibitor for a symptomatic relief.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
