LUmp: That sound like a lymph node. If that is swelling and not getting better, and it has been awhile it should be examined. Even getting more of a story would help. You could start with one of us.

Groin lump: Lumps need to be evaluated by your doctor. Please see him/her. It could be several things, e.g., swollen lymph gland, hernia, or something more. Your doc will take care of you. Peace and good health.

Be seen: You would definitely want to be seen and evaluated. It is not a "normal" complaint and needs to be evaluated to make sure it is not some type of pathological process such as a tumor or infection. Be seen even if it is not causing you pain, needs to be diagnosed. Even if it is an enlarged node, etiology need to be sought.
