Suggest Treatment For Groin Lump

I just had an ultrasound a couple of days ago for a groin lump. I didn't get the results back but am nervous. It's most likely not a hernia(per my doctor) and the lump is near my ovary on the right side just above the crease where my torso meets my leg. It is the size of a grape and will get larger and smaller thruout the day. Do you think it's an ovarian cyst?

Hi,Dear,
Thanks for the query to HCM.I studied your problem in depth and I understood your concerns.
Treatment of the groin lump-
Your groin lump is not Ovarian Cyst and so be relived and stop worrying.
As rightly thought by you,a painless lump of grape size could be a hernia,but it could be Cold/Chronic Abscess of the lymph node.
So dont worry.After the USG report you may need to take opinion from ER Surgeon,who would resolve the treatment issues with groin lump, which would depend on the cause of it-
-If its Hernia-repair of the hernia -at earliest
or -if its-Cold Abscess-he would do Surgical Drainage and treat it by medicines.
Hence you should attend to ER Surgeon .
This advise is based on the facts from the history you give.
Hence I would advise you to check with ER Surgeon urgently.
So dont build up wrong concepts and create more psychic complications in you which would increase risks and costs to you.
Hope this would relieve your problem.
Welcome for any more query in this regard to HCM.
Write good resume and Click thanks if you feel satisfied with my advise.
Have a Good Day.
