Could my groin lumps be a hernia?
6 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Maybe: A single groin lump could be a hernia; or it can be an enlarged lymph node, a tumor, or even an infection. More than one lump in the same inguinal area (groin) is not likely to be an inguinal hernia. One's doctor can examine this/these and determine what it/they are.

Possible: Without a physical exam it is hard for me to answer this. Lumps in the groin could definitely be hernia is. They can also be enlarged lymph nodes. See your doctor.
