What Causes Intermittent Appearance Of Lumps In Groin Area?

My husband has a lump where his leg meets his groin. It is not painful however sometimes itches very badly. At this time it appears to be very deep and hard. The lump comes and goes sometimes disappearing completely and then sometimes showing on the each side. He works outdoors and wants to know if this is due to getting hot & sweaty? Should we be concerned since it is not painful?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
He has lump in both groin area and appear and disappear on regular basis. Most probably he may have inguinal hernia. He should go for examination and if it hernia then he should go for hernia repair surgery like meshplasty. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
