A member asked:
Can you tell me how to know if i have a hernia injury or a groin strain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lump: A hernia often has a lump associated with the area of pain. Physical exam is the best way to diagnose a groin hernia, but sometimes a variety of imaging studies are necessary depending on how bad the symptoms are. Best place to start is with a primary care provider.
