Whats wrong if my groin in swollen and red?!


Question: Whats wrong if my groin in swollen and red!?
I think i may have strained my groin but I am not sure, i woke up this morning and I had a lump about the size of my palm on my upper inner thigh and it was sort of red more like a pink i guess!. I suspect a groin pull or strain!. It is also very tender in certain spots where the crease of the leg meets the abdomen!. I feel like I should be walking with a limp!. I am looking for answers from someone who has had first or second hand experience with similar symptoms!. Any factual knowledge is greatly appreciated!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Well if the lump is protruding out at that region, theres a high index of suspicion for an femoral, indirect or direct hernia!. Basically, the fascia of the area where your lower ab muscles meets the upper thighs has gotten weak to a point where the internal underlying structures no longer have support and now are protruding out!.

If your a woman, its more likely to be a femoral hernia!. If your middle age - old age, then one of the others!. Anyway please go see a doctor as I don't have your full history and thus can only offer my best guess!. If you want you should look into the things I said online and see if they fit your situation!. Best of luck mate!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

it is possible o get a hernia in this area, so that is one possibilty!.
but you may have a cyst or an abcess which is like an infection under your skin!. it can be exceedingly painful!. try putting a hot compress onto the lump and check to see if there is any point where it has come to a head, like with a big pimple, where you can squeeze the infection out!. if you do thi make sure to wash the area and your hands thouroughly before and after, and wipe with antiseptic!.
take a couple painkillers if its really bad and go and see your doctor in the morning!. if it i as big as you say and it is an infection you may need quite urgent medical careWww@Answer-Health@Com

If you have a pulled or stretched the groin area, you would deffinately remember when and how it happened because it would have hurt right then!.
If you can remember no such incident then it could mean an infection!. I know that blood boils can be very painful and look very nasty and red!. The blood boils can be caused from severe stress!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Its hard to know what to tell you, because you didnt say if you had done anything to strain the groin or not! Were you playing sport!? Were you hit there!? Were you doing any strenuous activity that might have caused a pull there!?

I think you need to go to the doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
