Hello debbie.elrod,
I would like to know the exact location of the swelling, actually. If it's started to hurt and is increasing in size, you have to be careful and get it diagnosed properly so as to manage it appropriately.
Though , there is not to too worried about it, as these things are absolutely treatable. We just need to click the right button. I will be waiting for your reply.
Thanks

Hi welcome to H.C.M.Forum. it appears to be ganglion , means herniation of synovial sac to out & spreading . usually it is cured by operation but as it is there on both sides conservatory treatment may be tried. with neurotropic injections, antibiotics& antiinflamatory drugs.
i advise you to consult an orthopedic surgeon for diagnosis. you may need to get CTscan done to confirm the extent of swelling inside& plan the treatment. wishing for a quick recovery.

Hi,

I assume that the location you are referring to is groin region. A swelling or lump in the groin region could be a lymph node, vascular abnormality or hernia. As you said it is gurgling the possibility of a lymph node swelling can be ruled out. It could be either hernia or a vascular abnormality. A vascular abnormality in the groin area is quite rare. I shall tell you few tests which you can do yourself

Cough Test- Observe whether the lump is increasing in size or an impulse can be felt while you cough. If it increases in size it is hernia

Other test is reducibilty- Try to push back the lump if it dissapears it is hernia

Apart from that i would recommend you to have an Ultrasound scan of the lump done. It would definitely confirm the diagnosis, most probably a hernia.

If the lump is found be hernia. You need to get treated preferably by getting operated ( Based on the size of the lump and type of hernia)

Wish you the best of health
Bye
Take care
