What Does A Lump In The Groin Area Indicate?

I have a bump/knot about the size of a large grape in my left groin right in the crease of where my leg meet my torso and about 3 inches down from my beltline... A month or so ago it seemed like it was lower, then went down and now is back but higher up in the crease where my leg meet my torso...

Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can
Well, this suggests possible hernia nad you should do ultrasound to ruke this out.Hernia surgery for recurrent hernia may be bit more challenging for surgeon but still this is a routine surgery and there should not be problems about it. Also, it would be good to have it done laparoscopically if this is available in your institution since for recurrent hernia, laparosopic surgery is the most optimal option since it is less invasive. Also, you should take into account that hernia may become incarcerated in future so it is better to manage it as soon as possible.
