What Does A Lump In The Groin Area Indicate?

In 2010 I found a small lump in the left side of my groin. My doctor ordered an ultra sound and it showed nothing so thought it may just be fat and was told there's nothing to worry about.
Now over the past year it has grown and is unsightly and when felt it aches a bit. So its nearly 8 years later. Could this be a hernia (I've had constipation for years) or a nothing lump that became a something lump?

Hello,

The possible lump in the groin can be a hernia or others as soft tissue lesion. Primary evaluation with clinical examination and latest ultrasound to check underlying defect is mandatory.

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