Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My 17 yr old son told/showed me a recent balloon-feeling area near his groin. Im suspecting an inguinal hernia because he helped move a console tv{ when I wasnt home to stop him). didnt notice pain then but was too heavy to lift . Coughing alot due to asmatic brobchitis since last week is causing him to notice this area. Your thoughts ? Guess I wont find out now. No money. Widowed mother of 2 , working 7 days a week for last 15 months has no extra money, just trying not to worry myself silly till we see the doctor. Thought this was free. Sorry to bother anyone, Lisa

What Causes Discomfort In The Groin Area?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Very difficult to comment without seeing pictures. If the swelling increases during cough it could be a hernia. Need a direct examination to confirm. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. B.
