Is A Painful Lump In The Groin A Recurrent Hernia Symptom?
I had hernia surgery with mesh. I am a female who is 69 years old. The surgery was 6 months ago. I have been experiencing reoccurring symptoms of the hernia returning. It is in the groin area, I experience an egg shaped lump that pops out and extreme pain that knocks me off my feet. I lie down and it goes away. Is this a reoccurrence of the original hernia?

Hello,
The most possible reason for painful lump popping out in the groin area is re-appearance of a hernia, with less possibility of other soft tissue lesion like lipoma or else which are not painful.
I strongly recommend undergoing an ultrasound of the groin region for best evaluation and management guidelines.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
