Egg Like Protrusion On Upper Left Side Of Groin Area. Done Strenuous Biking. How Long Will It Take To Heal?
Question: I just discovered an egglike protrusion on the upper left side of my groin area. There is no pain but if I exert strenght into my lower abdomen it puffs of like a half an egg. Do I need to do anything or can I just watch to see if it will heal by itself. I noticed it happened after doing some very strenuous biking on hills which I do only once in a great while.
Brief Answer:
hi and welcome to XXXXXXX
Detailed Answer:
It sounds like inguinal hernia. This is commonly seen especially in people that do exercise and sports. If there is protrusion of hernia during cough or whike doing abs,then this is definitely hernia. It wont heal spontaneously,but also it wont cause some serious symptoms unless it become strangulated. In this case you would have pain and redness in groin area. So it can only be surgically repaired by simple one hour procedure in local anasthesia. It is up to you will yoh nd when undergo surgery. Wish you good health. Feel free to ask regards

Brief Answer:
Hi
Detailed Answer:
it means that you decide if you want to have surgical repir or not depending on how much it bothers you. If you have pain o burning sensation aroubd it then consult surgeon. I recommend to have surgery as soon as you can because it wont pull back completely by itself and surgery is simple and permanent solution.
