Are Persistent Groin Pain And A Lump In The Groin Area A Concern?

My husband has had persistent groin pain for over 2 years. He had hernia repair 4 years ago that was done with mesh. Since then, he has never been completely symptom free. He was recently RE=EXAMINE by his primary care doctor who found a "new" lump in his groin. Ultrasound indicates it was not a new hernia. I want him to have a CT scan to make sure we know what is going on...I am fearful that something more serious has been overlooked for quite some time because his MD was thinking is was related to the original hernia

Hello,

As per my surgical experience, there can be various reasons for lump over the operated site of hernia as stitch granuloma, inflammatory collection or others.

In my opinion, MRI of the groin will reveal all the details in fine with an emphasis on soft tissue evaluation rather than a CT scan.

Would like to assist further with the reports in details during follow up the conversation.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
