About the Symptom

Swelling in the groin region refers to the lump that is found in the body where the upper thighs meet the lowest part of the abdomen.

When to See a Doctor

Seek professional care if you experience any of the following symptoms

Swelling in the groin region

Possible Causes

Generally, Lump in the groin can be related to:

Inguinal Hernia
An inguinal hernia is a condition where a bulge appears in your groin region, in the area between your lower abdomen and your thigh, through a weakening of muscles in your lower abdomen. This bulge is commonly a protrusion of your tissue or abdominal organs such as your intestines. If not treated, inguinal hernias can result in an obstruction of your digestive system.

Related Serious Diseases

Sometimes, Lump in the groin may be related to these serious diseases:

Incarcerated Inguinal Hernia
An incarcerated inguinal hernia is a hernia of the small or large intestine that gets stuck in the groin or scrotum due to swelling and cannot be pushed back into the abdomen. It can lead to a strangulated hernia, where the blood supply to the intestine in the hernia gets cut off, causing complications.

Doctor's Diagnostic Questions

Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this symptom:

Is there swelling in your groin?
How long have you had swelling in the groin?
Have you had swelling in the groin region before?
Does the swelling at the groin not retract when pushed?
Do you have swelling in the groin area when standing up?
