What Causes Swelling In The Groin Area?
Hello
My 3 year old son looks to have a very little amount of swelling in his groin area, not his testicles not his penis which is not circumsized but the wall that holds that area all together. He is not saying it hurts or if there is any pain at all.I thought I would check online before going to the hospital. Any idea of what this could be?

The swelling could be either inguinal hernia or lymph node.
Exact diagnosis is possible by clinical examination of the swelling.
I would suggest you to consult Paediatrician for further assessment.
