Hi ! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

Although it needs to be physically examined to arrive at a diagnosis , from the history alone, I would advise you to visit the ER of a nearest hospital at the earliest possible to rule out an obstructed inguinal hernia with a possibility of a strangulation resulting in the bruising around that area. It might not be possible to advise you any medications at present for this problem.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
