A bump in a man's groin

A lump in the groin in women and men is an alarming and unpleasant symptom. Having found such a phenomenon in oneself, it is necessary to visit a qualified doctor in the near future. Any swelling, swelling, pineal formations always signal a malfunction in the body, or the onset of a disease. The resulting lump in the groin can cause pain, discomfort or even increase the body temperature.

If a lump appeared in the groin and went away by itself, then this does not necessarily mean that everything has returned to normal and there is no need to worry anymore. It may happen that the disease that caused such a symptom spilled over into a chronic form. After a while, severe inflammation is possible, which is a consequence of a running chronic process in the body.

Pineal formations in the groin, what could it be

In most cases, a lump in the groin in men occurs as a result of an inflammatory process in the lymphatic system. Other reasons may be a hernia (inguinal), atheroma. When making a diagnosis, the doctor takes into account the following factors:

• Location (right / left / perineum)
• Associated diseases
• Pain sensations
• Body temperature
• Size , shape, firmness

Let's take a closer look at each possible disease.

Atheroma / sebaceous cyst

This disease is characterized by a dense spherical neoplasm with dense contents, located in the groin in its upper part. In some cases, the contents are expelled through the ducts. Influence on the formation of atheroma can:

• Hormonal disruption in the body
• Injury
• Poor hygiene
• Constant temperature drop
• Fatty / fried foods
• Toxic substances

The development of pathology begins with blockage of the sebaceous duct. The secreted fat cannot escape to the surface of the skin. For this reason, inflammation begins, in some cases ending in subcutaneous abscesses.

Inguinal hernia

A lump in the groin can occur due to a hernia that occurs when the walls of muscle tissue in the abdominal cavity are weakened. With physical stress, coughing, sneezing, intestinal loops protrude through the weakened walls under the skin, thereby forming a pouch. Localization of an inguinal hernia can be on the left or on the right. If the hernia is pinched:

• The normal blood supply is cut off
• The tissue is no longer nourished, the color changes to purple
• Pain arises that increases with exertion

Therapy of a pinched hernia is possible only through surgery.

Lymphadenitis

In other words, an inflammatory process in the lymph nodes. It can develop after viral diseases, infectious, as well as fungal. Lymphadenitis symptoms:

• Enlargement of nodes with increasing temperature
• Pain
• Inflammation of the peri-lymphatic tissues

Causes of inflammation of the lymphatic system:

• Diseases of the genitourinary system, for example, prostatitis
• Parasites (helminths) in the body, whose waste products are poisonous and can provoke inflammation
• Sexually transmitted diseases (trichomoniasis / syphilis / gonorrhea)
• Tumors
