Suggest Treatment For A Lump In The Pubic Hair Area

I am 51 yrs old -- male. I have had problems with prostatitis before. Now I am very worried... I just found a lump (gumball size) on my left side in pubic hair area. It is causing a lot of pain in that area. Also the pain seems to be radiating outwards. This seems a sudden thing. Produces a pulling or tugging type of pain. Seems to be an infection type of fighting off feeling in my whole body. Also seem to be urinating more often. I am just surprised by the size of lump + the suddeness of it!! Also the pain aspect has me worried. I have no $$, no job, + no insurance -- so going to the doctor is not possible right now.

Hi,Good Morning,Thanks for your query to My-HCM Clinic.I studied your query in depth.I understood your concerns.
My opinion on the pubic lump is -Direct inguinal hernia-which popped out suddenly.
-This is known to cause the pulling/stretching pain / and radiating pain also.
-Frequent urination confirms-with this lump - that its -Direct Inquinal Hernia and not a infective lump of the pubic are.
-Treatment -would be-
a-Consult a Surgeon and confirm its diagnosis.
b-USG would confirm diagnosis-but not essential.
c-Even simple rest and Tight underwear with brace support would help you.
d-Or Simple Direct Inquinal hernia-brace or support would take care of this lump.
And there is no need to spend on urgent doctor consultation.But planned care with ER-surgeon,with watch on the lump symptoms is a must in long run.
-Hope this would help you to recover from worry-some query.
Wish you a Fast Recovey.Wellcome to HCM again.
