Do I have a hernia?

For two years I have been having a burning/kinda heavy pain near my right groin (its kinda near the hip down to the private parts!) And I think there seems to be swelling near the private parts at the top. Sometimes if I lie down and touch it there seems to be a large lump that is the size of the whole area kind of and it can sink back in..but there is nothing ever visible to the eye..maybe internal hernia?? Seems to be better with rest and worse with activitys.
Answer:
Yes it sounds like a hernia.
I would go to the docs and have it looked at .He can refer you to a surgeon to have it repaired to get rid of that burning heavy pain you describe.As another answer has pointed out there is a small risk it could become strangulated and this would need an emergency op but this is not common (but not unheard of).The op itself is very simple and is usually done as a day case.
It will be uncomfortable for a week or so but this is usually bearable if you take some painkillers and get lots of TLC from your nearest and dearest!Hope this helps
Yeah sounds like something bad down there. Suggest you see your doctor asap.. My son had a hernia and has been operated on. Best get it sorted before you do some damage.
Yes it does sound like a hernia.I have had 2 of the pesky things and they can get quite uncomfortable at times.It is essential that you see a doctor as soon as possible as they can become strangulated and then you have an emergency situation so get to your GP as soon as possible to get it checked out.If an operation is required then it can be done by "Keyhole surgery"this is much less invasive and you are up and about much quicker. Best of luck and make that appointment!
