What Causes Painless Lump On Thigh After Doing Excersise?

I have just been running in the gym, the first time after a while, and whilst I was stretching out, noticed a painless lump on the the front of my thigh, about a third of the way up. It's the first time I've noticed it and I was wondering if I should see my GP to get it checked out?

welcome to Health care magic.
1.The most possible cause according to the location and symptom and sign and after physical strain - INGUINAL HERNIA.
2.Its due to the defect in the anterior abdominal wall at the inguinal region / inguinal canal.
3.If it is there / or resolving on its on in change of position / lying what ever symptoms - you need to see your GP and request for an ultrasound inguinal region / lump.
4.The doctor / technician will check with cough reflex and see the contents of the lump and presence of any bowel strangulation.
5.Mean while stop physical stress, lifting weights, get treated before it gets complicated.
Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
