Patient's question:
There is a recurring lump in the groin area during bowel movements. I often suffer from constipation and struggle to pass stool. In the past six months, it has appeared when I squat, and recently it has shown a trend of shrinking. There is a recurring lump in the groin area. How can it be diagnosed what it is, and what can be done to resolve it? I want to know what are the symptoms of a hernia in adult women?Doctor's answer:
Your symptoms are likely caused by an inguinal hernia, which is more common in women. Your condition is related to frequent hard bowel movements and heavy lifting. I recommend that you first focus on rest, eat a light, warm, and easily digestible diet, and consume more eggs and meat. It is advisable to actively visit a nearby regular hospital for a local color Doppler ultrasound examination. Diagnosis requires active surgical treatment.
