Hi there, Over the last 5 months I've lost around 30 lbs of weight. As my body is slimmer, I noticed a small lump in my groin area about 4/5 inches below belly button. I'm not sure if it was there and I did not notice because of the extra fat. Either way, did some research and have narrowed down symptom to inguinal hernia. Scheduled appointment with personal care doctor but it is not until September. Should I see an urgent care sooner? inguinal hernia, how urgent to see doctor?

I have a small bump, possibly a hernia, right above my belly button. I've had it for years without any pain or issues. I'm not sure if I should go to a GP first or rather go directly to a specialist such as a gastroenterologist?
