Complicated case: With those numbers of operations you are a complicated case - but sounds like a hernia, if it is chronic over the past while. Have a surgeon check you.

How does hernia feel: At the groin or inguinal area, a hernia can feel like a bulge with pain, that comes and goes. When the bulge/pain is there, it can be tender, and if you push on it, the bulge slips inside. Absent fever, severe pain, feeling sick, most hernias can be managed as an outpatient surgical procedure. Your prior history makes me want you to get evaluated sooner.
