Hello,

It is an inguinal hernia. If you had trivial trauma or heavy weight lifting done, then it would have weakened your groin muscles which give away, and now the inner organs are coming out of it. If it is very small, and causing no pain, then it can be left with painkiller coverage.

If it is more annoying you, then it needs to be fixed with surgery only. It is the only permanent treatment for hernias. No medical treatment is known to subside it.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Archana
