What Does A Lump In The Groin Area Indicate?
I have a lump the size of a large walnut in my groin area. Where my leg and abdominal area meets kind of. It was smaller but has grown. It s way deep in my tissue. Nowhere close to the surface of the skin like a blister boil or pimple would be. It feels like it s kind of loose bcus I can feel under it a bit as well.

Hello,
The lump you are describing is suggestive of enlarged inguinal lymph nodes. Enlarged Inguinal lymph nodes can be seen in infections of leg, testis or prostrate, prostrate or testicular tumors. Physical examination and investigations tailored according to your symptoms are needed at this point. Please be advised to follow-up with a primary care provider to get the necessary evaluation done.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Lekshmi Rita Venugopal
