Possibilities: Any activity that involves heavy lifting, or increasing your intraabdominal pressure does refer that pressure into the pelvis. It could be a pulled or mild sprain of an internal muscle or groin pull, it could be dilated vessels/ structures in the scrotum (like a varicocele), but it may be a small hernia also. They can be hard to diagnose especially if it is small.

Obturator hernia: This could be a hernia if your obituary or canal, a space in your pelvis. This is hard to diagnose on physical examination and may require special imaging such as ct scan.

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?
