I have a small hard lump on the right side of my mons pubis. It has been there for a little over a week and was bigger when it rather suddenly appeared. It is only slightly tender and uncomfortable when pressed. I am worried about what this may be since it has yet to go away. Any ideas?
Hi. From your history this may be an inguinal hernia or a boil. If this is hernia, it will be expansible - meaning increases on coughing and straining and reducible meaning can be Manually reduced. IF boil, it will remain same irrespective of a coughing or pressing. The treatment for a hernia is sternotomy and if boil or so, trial with an antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines for 5 days will be sufficient.
