Hi, I have had a lump in my groin area for quite a while now. It has never grown, you can move it around like a marble, it s quite soft but it can start to ache if I move it a lot. It also tends to disappear more when I sit or lie down than when I am standing up. I am starting to get worried about it and should probably go to the doctors but if you could give me any advice that would be great. Ami
Hi, Looking to the history as lump disappears while lying down position and appears while standing indicates that you might be having developing direct inguinal hernia called Bubonocele. Consult surgeon and get examined. Avoid constipation and cough reflex. Go for abdominal recto muscle and pelvic floor exercises daily. This exercises might cause complete disappearance of bubonocele. Ok and take care.
