Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
Painful lump in the groin is definitely a cause of concern. If it is increasing, then it requires immediate attention. there is no point in waiting for long.
For time being, you can take analgesics which contain diclofenac with paracetamol combination. That should help you to manage pain till you seek medical attention.
You need to get evaluated by the Surgeon for proper assessment and management at the earliest.
Wish you good health.
