Is it a large lump, like possibly a hernia?Or a smaller one?If it's something new, and it's not just a pimple or something, you should definitely have it checked out by a doctor.

hernia? And no its a small one..hmm its like a half pea.

I have had two hernias, and as mentioned have just been told I have another one. two were on one side the new one is on the oppisite side.
Depening on where your lump is and the size might give you some indication. I think usually thay are out the outer edges of the pubes just above the groin. Mine were like this on either side of the shaft - i guess that is the easiest way to tell you where they were/are.
It may be best to go see your doctor as hernias can caused problems if left untreated accouring to my doc. He aslo said that depending of the size of it would depned on if it was more serious or not. He said the smaller the lump of hernia the bigger chance of it that it could casue problems.
Hope this helps. It might be best to see your doc to put your mind at ease. It might also have nothing to do with a hernia so it would be better to be safe than sorry. -
A half-pea sized lump doesn't sound like a hernia - more like a large pimple or ingrown hair or a cyst. Does it hurt?
-
Yeah, I thought when he posted that size, it wouldn't be a hernia. But I couldn't figure out what else it could be. Possibly cyst. Too big for a pimple though. Really needs to get it checked out.
