a hernia is usually in the abdomen area. this sounds like a case for your family doctor.
my son has a bulge on his leg across from his penis that hurts to gently touch. any ideas what this might be? . the bulge is about the size of a half dollar and when he gets up in the morning he limps because it hurts so much. his dad thinks it might be hernia but i just don't know. i also don't know if that is the groin or not.
