Any neoplasm that appears on the human body causes discomfort and anxiety. What to do if a lump appears between the leg and groin? Consult a doctor to diagnose the lump, identify the cause of its formation and receive recommendations for eliminating the disease.
A neoplasm in the form of a lump, formed in the groin area and causing discomfort, may be a symptom of a disease of the human reproductive system.
What can cause a lump to form on the bend of the leg near the groin:
A lump formed in the groin area may be the result of oncology (lymphoma), pathological skeletal structure caused by congenital malformations, neuroblastoma, arterial aneurysm, etc.
The lymphatic system is designed to protect the human body by flushing out toxins and pathogenic microflora from affected organs. After this, the lymph undergoes filtration in the nodes, where decay products are retained, provoking inflammatory processes (inguinal lymphadenitis).
Depending on the location of the lump (inflamed lymph node), the doctor identifies lesions:
Changes in the size of individual areas of the lymphatic system in the groin area are also caused by the use of hormones, mechanical damage to the integrity of the skeleton, hypothermia, and oncology.
The cause of the development of an inguinal hernia is not always colossal physical stress on the body. Often the disease makes itself felt with prolonged coughing, frequent constipation and even excess weight. When the rectus abdominis muscle is weakened, a violation of the correct location of the internal organs occurs, in which individual sections of tissue emerge through the inguinal canal.
In order to prevent an inguinal hernia, it is worth eliminating colossal loads on large muscles, and if you have a sedentary lifestyle, add daily light physical exercise.
Bartholinitis causes blockage of the gland ducts in a woman, which is why a lump forms in the groin area. Suitable conditions for the appearance of such a disease are: hemorrhoids, intestinal fistulas and fissures in the anus. The main causes of bartholinitis are:
The lump in most cases is localized in the vestibule of the vagina, causing severe discomfort (sharp pain occurs upon palpation).
This disease is mainly characteristic of teenage girls and is caused by hormonal changes. There is no need to panic, as over time the percentage of male hormones in the body will decrease and the lump in the groin will disappear. If the cause is failure to comply with personal hygiene rules, there is a possibility of complications developing.
Another reason for the formation of a lump in the groin is inflammation of the sweat gland, caused by an increase in the amount of staphylococcal microflora in the body. At the same time, the patient experiences an increase in body temperature, chills, weakness and other symptoms accompanying intoxication.
Staphylococcus actively multiplies when the immune system is weakened, so prevention will include taking multivitamins, an active lifestyle, and proper nutrition.
Folliculitis is a disease that causes the formation of lumps not only in the groin area. The causes of inflammation of the hair follicles are:
If the cause of the appearance of lumps in the groin area is an allergy, you need to immediately eliminate the allergen (product, suppositories, intimate hygiene gel, etc.). Be sure to take the necessary course of antihistamines.
Varicose veins most often affect women (most during pregnancy). Diagnosing this cause of a lump in the groin area is easier than others (there is a noticeable lumpiness around the neoplasm, pulsation is noted on palpation, the lump is mobile, there is a suspicion of a bend in the vein). If thrombophlebitis has an advanced form, then the protrusion becomes denser and palpation is painful.
The formation of a lump between the leg and groin is accompanied by the following symptoms:
To determine the cause of the lump, your doctor may order the following tests:
Before choosing an examination method, the specialist collects an anamnesis.
Only a doctor who has identified the cause of the tumor can prescribe the correct treatment:
It is important to understand: if the lump is painless, then it is enough to visit a therapist to get advice and referrals for various studies and to specialists (phlebologist, gynecologist, nephrologist).
But if the neoplasm is mobile and causes even the slightest pain, do not hesitate, immediately visit a surgeon.
During pregnancy, the size of the uterus increases and the blood vessels are compressed. The result of this is the appearance of small protrusions in the perineal area. If the bumps are painless, there is nothing to be afraid of. However, if pain occurs during palpation, the doctor may suspect the development of thrombophlebitis.
Any changes in a woman’s body during such an exciting period should be indicated to the doctor managing the pregnancy. Only he will be able to choose the right method of treatment (wearing a bandage, physical therapy, taking vitamins). The decision on an operative method of eliminating the disease is made only in extreme cases (when the disease is life-threatening for the expectant mother).
Only a specialist should treat a lump in the groin area. Self-relief of symptoms is not allowed, much less damage to the skin (possible infection, which can lead to death).
I want to say right away that I have never had and never have had dangerous or random connections on the side. I have not taken and do not take drugs. I am a wonderful family man, I have children.
I've been to the dentist several times lately. I made a crown. At the same time, I make an appointment first, because I am afraid of catching any infection (there is such a constant fear). On February 6, they made a pin for my crown and cut my gums with a bur; there was blood. When I was spitting, I saw it (yes, there’s one more thing - there’s an ordinary plastic bag on the container where you spit, since the drain doesn’t work). Could there be a risk of contracting HIV or not? What if the instrument was unsterile or they forgot to change it after the previous patient today or yesterday (but if I was the first to be registered, then the patient should not have been there. This doctor works from 9-00 because he drops the child off at kindergarten, but he saw me at 8-30 , i.e., as if during non-working hours). In my presence, they did not wipe the tips from the drill machine and did not change the instrument (maybe this is done between patients). One nurse works for two offices. My wife and her brother and her sister and her husband had their teeth treated at different times in this private clinic. Everything is fine with them. 16 days after treatment, my throat began to hurt (maybe I just had a cold, but there was no runny nose), and I coughed up a little yellow pus. After a week, everything went away, but the throat has a sore throat, but it doesn’t hurt when swallowing. I still cough up white mucus. There is a little cough, but it is somewhat dry. More like a cough. I started looking at my throat and found something like white dots.
At the same time, my stomach began to hurt for 10 days (sometimes there are problems), maybe because I often drank Hibiscus tea, and it increases acidity. There were no other symptoms as such, no temperature, but once (on the 3rd or 4th day when my throat hurt) it rose to 37.1, but after 2 hours it was again 36.6 and somehow strangely it was jumping between 36.0 and 36 .5, then 36.9, then again 36.6. The lymph nodes do not hurt and are not enlarged (they always look like medium-sized balls under my jaw, and everywhere I felt small balls), there is no diarrhea (although there was something similar) and there seems to be no sweating either. I began to feel the lymph nodes everywhere and check them every day on the neck, in the subclavian cavity, under the armpits, in the groin. I pressed under the knees and it started to hurt there; it already seems that they are enlarged. There is some kind of weakness in the legs, as if they are made of cotton. The knee joints seem to ache. There is some weakness in the body. Maybe from lack of sleep. I don't know.
About a month after visiting the dentist (when my gums were injured), I discovered a red, flaky spot the size of a 10-kopeck coin on my right thigh, closer to the groin. It itches a little. There are two more smaller spots on the elbows, but they don’t itch.
Girls, we need your help. Has anyone encountered this? Two days ago I felt pain when pressing between my leg and pubis. Like on a muscle or something. All the way down. It’s not even the stomach)) The internal organs should be there. 2 days have passed, and now this place itself hurts, barely noticeable though. Now I'm going to the surgeon. Maybe someone had this?
You need to jerk off less
I did not understand you
Why see a surgeon? Cut off a leg or pubis?
it's a lymph node that's swollen
Yep, lymph node. You just got blown somewhere.
Author, this happened to me as a child. The lymph node is inflamed. We searched for the reason for a very long time. They found that the cause was a callus on the heel.
Go to the gynecologist, maybe adnexitis can spread to this place - it happened to me.
Maybe the nerve was pinched or caught a cold.
This is probably an interpubic concussion.
Masturbation is to blame.
+1, women after masturbation complain of pain where the author describes.
Lymph nodes, it happened to me, then it went away.
INGUINAL HERNIA. doctor.
If the lymph node becomes inflamed, it swells a little. And if you pulled a ligament, then this is it! Will pass in three days
If the lymph node becomes inflamed, it swells a little.
I had it for a long time. And the reason is an insect bite on the thigh, a large abscess has formed. The surgeon cut out the *** on my thigh - and the lymph node passed. But then I was scared too. And on the thigh, even after 12 years, there is a hole.
the surgeon said that it was a lymph node..after suffering from cystitis) everything is fine))
I have had such pain for the 2nd year now, in the same place, only on the right. They don't pass. It gets worse if you get nervous.
Doctors say that this may be a problem in the intestines; I am currently taking Intesti-bacterioag. I've tested for STDs more than once and found nothing. Cystitis occurs periodically and cannot be cured for a long time.
Olga - it looks like a latent carrier of genital herpes - she pulls her leg and the inguinal lymph nodes become inflamed - and cystitis from the same opera - herpes gives the same picture as you described.
I feel like this after sex.. it’s been hurting for 3 days now((
I have the same problem. I went to aerobics and after the workout I can’t walk and it’s been like that for the second month, it seems to go away, but after the next workout it’s all over again. I'm afraid it might be some kind of bullshit after giving birth.

What it is? A lump in the groin is a protruding lump, quite mobile, sometimes painful or asymptomatic.
The appearance of such a compaction signals that some inflammatory processes are occurring in the body that require immediate diagnosis and treatment. Lumps in the groin appear more often in women than in men, due to the structure of the reproductive system.
Lumps and protrusions in the groin area in women can occur for various reasons, the most common of which are:
The appearance of a compaction or protrusion on the right can be due to a number of reasons:
A lump in the groin on the left can occur for the same reasons as on the right, only the pathological process in this case will occur on the opposite side.
Inflammatory processes of the sebaceous and sweat glands, hair follicles in the groin are accompanied by pain at the site of the outbreak, redness of the skin, local and sometimes general increase in temperature.
As the inflammatory process progresses, the head of an abscess appears at the top of the cone, and after its opening, all the symptoms of the disease decrease and disappear.
Many patients are interested in the question: which doctor should they contact if lumps appear in the groin? If nothing else bothers you, then you should see a therapist, but if the lump in the groin hurts, and the skin over it is swollen and hyperemic, you should consult a surgeon.
When such formations appear, a woman is prohibited from self-medicating. Under no circumstances should you heat the seal or try to squeeze it out.
Protrusions can be one of the first symptoms of a malignant process in the body, so early diagnosis and adequate treatment will help prevent tumor progression and reduce the likelihood of metastases.
At the appointment, the specialist conducts an initial examination of the groin area, palpates neoplasms, collects an anamnesis of life and illness, and issues referrals for examination. Sometimes, to determine the nature and nature of the lump (especially with suppuration), a puncture is required. The resulting contents are sent to the laboratory for further study.
Depending on the causes of compaction and protrusion, it depends on how to treat a lump in the groin:
During pregnancy, as the uterus enlarges and the fetus grows, the blood vessels of the pelvis are compressed, which can lead to varicose veins of the lower extremities and perineum. As a result of the development of stagnant processes in the veins, nodular protrusions and small bumps may appear through the skin in the groin area.
On palpation, these lumps are painless and quite mobile, but if an inflammatory process develops in the dilated veins (thrombophlebitis), then the lumps in the groin are sharply painful and cause discomfort at the slightest movement.
Another reason for the formation of lumps in the groin of a pregnant woman may be blockage of the sweat or sebaceous glands and their further inflammation. With the onset of pregnancy, the glands of the expectant mother produce more secretions, as a result of which the body cannot always cope with the load - this is fraught with blockage of the ducts and the development of an inflammatory process.
As the load on the ligamentous and muscular apparatus of the pelvis of a pregnant woman increases, lumps, which are hernial protrusions, may form in the groin.
In this situation, the doctor will recommend that the expectant mother wear a special bandage and limit physical activity and sudden movements. As a rule, a groin hernia is operated on during pregnancy only if it is pinched; in all other situations, surgery is performed after childbirth.
Only a doctor can determine the cause of the formation of lumps in the groin area of a pregnant woman, and depending on it, appropriate treatment will be prescribed. Ignoring your condition and self-medicating can harm the development of the baby in the uterus.
The groin area is a very delicate part of the female body. Any changes in tissue or subcutaneous fat should be a reason to seek medical help. Most often, a woman discovers deformation or swelling during hygiene procedures. Lumps in the groin in women can occur due to exposure to various internal or external environmental factors. Often, compaction is one of the first symptoms of the underlying disease, which must be diagnosed in time and treated correctly.
First of all, it is better for a woman to consult a gynecologist. If pathology of the reproductive system is excluded, the doctor will refer you to other specialists.
Only a doctor can accurately determine the cause of a lump in the groin area after a thorough medical examination. However, in order not to panic and imagine terrible diseases when a small swelling is detected, it is worth familiarizing yourself with a number of reasons due to which it may appear:
Each of the above reasons has its own characteristics, which facilitates the differential diagnosis of various diseases.
The lymphatic system plays a key role in protecting our body from pathogenic bacteria and viruses. When inflammation of any organ occurs, inflammation of the lymph nodes is also possible. The causative agent of the infection enters the lymph nodes with the flow of lymph through the lymphatic vessels. The main factors for inflammation of the inguinal lymph nodes:
Inflammation of the lymph nodes can manifest itself as follows:
This disease is more typical for men, but in some cases, protrusion of the inguinal hernia can occur in women. Predisposing factors are:
An inguinal hernia appears due to protrusion of the abdominal organs through the inguinal canal while maintaining the integrity of the peritoneal layers. The first sign of the disease in women is swelling in the groin area. In the early stages, the protrusion may be painless and cause no discomfort. A dangerous complication of this pathology is strangulation of the hernia, which leads to tissue necrosis and the development of peritonitis. Therefore, you should not self-medicate and put off going to the doctor.
Hidradenitis (inflammation of the sweat glands) is most often caused by Staphylococcus aureus. Etiological factors:
With hidradenitis, patients complain of a small painful lump. As the disease progresses, the lumps increase, swelling appears, and the skin over the affected gland becomes purple. The seals spontaneously open with the release of pus and subsequent scarring of the wound. The disease lasts an average of 2 weeks and may be accompanied by fever and general intoxication of the body. Hidradenitis is characterized by frequent relapses.
Benign tumors in the groin area often grow to a significant size. It could be a lipoma or atheroma. The tumors are usually painless, but if they grow larger they can cause discomfort when moving or wearing underwear. Women are also very concerned about cosmetic defects. Benign processes are not accompanied by general symptoms; women feel absolutely healthy and have no other complaints.
Malignant neoplasms of even very small sizes are accompanied by vivid clinical symptoms, pain and exhaustion. Such tumors are usually diagnosed before they reach a significant size.
In cases where the swelling is caused by trauma to the groin area, diagnosis is not difficult. First, it is important to have a history of falling or hitting a hard surface. Also, soft tissue injury is accompanied by severe pain, a local increase in body temperature, bruising, and a change in skin color.
If there is no pathology of the reproductive system, you should consult the following specialists:
The appearance of a lump or swelling should be regarded as an alarming symptom that requires medical examination. First of all, a woman should contact a gynecologist. After questioning, examining and receiving the results of a bacteriological examination of a vaginal smear, the doctor will confirm or deny the presence of diseases of the external or internal genital organs, which could lead to the appearance of enlarged inguinal lymph nodes in women.
Yesterday I found a small nodule deep in the front between my pubis and my leg. It hurts when touched, there is nothing similar on the other side. So that this could happen, what do you think? Maybe the lymph node is inflamed? Thank you
Now we will gather a consultation and give you a diagnosis! This is probably a lymph node, but lymph nodes usually don’t hurt. Go to the doctor, out of harm's way...
I don’t hope for an accurate diagnosis, don’t be afraid, I just thought maybe someone had a similar experience.
and which doctor should I go to? To a gynecologist, surgeon, dermatologist or just a therapist?))
I went to the gynecologist with this symptom, they found a hidden
Just hidden. Well, for example, like a blind, dumb person.
she hid for a long time
try applying streptocidal ointment and buy Citeal-a solution. Maybe it’s just a hair curled up under the skin, it’s not scary
It doesn’t look like a hair or skin sore at all, it sits deep under the skin and is not visible, it is only to the touch. And I felt it because it started to hurt in this place.
I'll make an appointment with the surgeon next week
hidden infection. like most of the visitors to this site)))
To the doctor, to the doctor, to the doctor.
Hello! Please tell me! I have some kind of skin pouch on the bend between my pubis and my leg, it appeared about 3 years ago, then disappeared, and then appeared again and still does not disappear, it does not bother me, does not hurt, has a normal color skin, I thought it was a lymph node, but when I palpate it, I feel like there’s nothing inside, as if it’s just skin! What could it be? Thanks in advance.
Hello!! I have a lump on my outer labia, in the middle! And before that I saw a pinch there! Well, the lump appeared the next day the size of a penny! What could it be? I’m very worried!
Hello. About three weeks ago I developed a lump in my lower abdomen. I’m not pregnant! I know this without testing. The lump doesn’t hurt, but it does hurt because it swells when I want to go to the toilet. It feels like a ball with a diameter of 10-15 cm. Tell me, what could it be?
Hello, about a couple of months ago, I got a lump in the groin area, it didn’t hurt, only when you touch it you feel pain, I applied it with streptacid ointment, it soon went away, but since then it seems to periodically appear in different places - women’s places. .I would like to know what it could be?
I was tormented by pain during sexual intercourse, it turned out that I had uterine fibroids. But along the way, aching pain in the groin on the right and a feeling of being taken away from my leg first appeared. And now focal burning areas appeared on the left on the outer part of the thigh. The burning places, when palpated, look like mastopathy nodes. And also a feeling of numbness in the leg. What could this be?
For example, I went to the doctor. She told me: “It’s okay, put a saline solution and everything will go away.” And for more than a year now I’ve had a lump appear, and then an abscess.
17, So did you apply saline solution? does it pass or not?
I discovered a lump between my labia and my leg several years ago, it went away and then came back. Sometimes it hurt and turned red. When it started to break out, I immediately ran to the doctor. The gynecologist said to go to the surgeon. The surgeon said that it was not a gland, but a lymph node, and it just needed to be removed. (Remove.) I went to another doctor, a gynecologist, and said, it’s okay, it’s not a lymph node, but inflammation of adipose tissue. She advised me to apply levomikol as soon as it becomes inflamed. And when it breaks, apply a solution of dimexide to cotton wool overnight. I will try.
I had something like this, between my leg and labia, right on the fold, a ball formed, it hurt, the size of a bean. I went and took a clinical test, because I thought it was a lymph node, and I needed urgent treatment. The tests were normal. Through for some time, purely by accident, it burst, and a teaspoon of bright red blood flowed out of it. Then the wound healed, and healed happily. Then it appeared again, about 7-8 months later, I already knew that with him to do. it went away again, but the infection began to appear more and more often. I think I need to see a surgeon.
I see I'm not the only one. About three days ago, pain began to appear in the perineum, between the left leg and the left labia. Next, pain and enlargement of these two lumps. Previously, sometimes there was a small bump next to the outer labia, but it went away on its own after a couple of days, but now. I also saw a therapist, then a surgeon. This *** after examination (without even touching) made an unequivocal diagnosis - Acute parapractitis and I urgently need to cut everything there, they say, pus. I found out that paraproctitis does not exist in nature at all, there is only paraproctitis, so this is it (pararectal abscess)? acute or chronic inflammation of the perirectal tissue. Paraproctitis? one of the most common proctological diseases (20-40% of all rectal diseases). Paraproctitis is in 4th place in frequency after hemorrhoids, anal fissures and colitis. Men suffer from paraproctitis more often than women. This ratio ranges from 1.5:1 to 4.7:1. Paraproctitis? disease of adults: descriptions of rectal fistulas in children are rare. Oh, our competent and trained doctors. It’s not always worth running to them for help.
Hello, I have this problem. A year ago there was a small seal between the leg and the labia, the ball hurt and when pressed a drop of liquid came out. After three or four days it went away on its own. A year passed and it was no longer formed. Tell me, please, what could it be? 18 years old, have not had sexual intercourse yet.
Damn I have some kind of bullshit, damn I’m 13 years old, a thickening on the skin, at first there was something similar, not a pimple, now there’s a lump under the skin and another one just like it has come out, damn I’m very afraid, tell me what to do
hello, today I noticed that a thick ball has appeared under the skin between the groin and the leg, it hurts when pressed, before that I had a sore in my leg above the knee a couple of days ago. help me what to do, which doctor is best to see.
Hello, I’m 19 and some time ago I was poisoned by something and after everything went away I discovered some kind of bruise on my right labia! I can’t imagine where it could have come from, it was naturally painful to touch, and after the bruise under the skin in that place went away, I felt a lump in shape and size resembling a bean, it doesn’t look like a lymph node, tell me what to do about it
I also had a seal between my leg and labia that ruptured, a lot of blood flowed out and something like a fistula formed. Sprinkling streptocide on it didn’t help. The fistula does not increase but does not decrease either. What could it be??
Hello! About a month ago I discovered a lump between my forehead and my leg, it doesn’t hurt when I feel it! At first I thought it was a pimple, but it doesn’t go away, maybe it’s a lymph node? Is it dangerous? What should I drink to make it go away? I’m very worried, but see a doctor There is no way to go yet.
Thanks in advance for your answer.
Hello. Today I discovered something under the skin near my right labia that looked like a bean. Now I don't know what to do. Who should I contact? Is this serious? I’m 15 and have never had sexual intercourse.
There are 1-2 seals between the labia and the leg on both sides. One, the very first one, does not go away for a very long time. Once, pus came out of it, and then some water. This liquid is constantly leaking from the second one. And the third one is empty. Look at the small wen, well, if you feel them, they disappear. but soon they appear again. Found on the underwear line. The first one appeared after an unsuccessful shave, perhaps, and the rest appeared on their own. What to do? it could be serious or just inflammation of the sebaceous glands or hair follicles.. help. I'm worried about this problem. 15 years
At least you write “EXPERT” without errors)) LEARN TO SPEAK CORRECTLY.
A tumor has formed between the leg and p.g. on the bend, 1.5 cm in length, it hurts very much, what could it be?
A tumor has appeared on the bend of the leg near the labia, approximately 1.5 cm, it hurts a lot, what could it be?
What did you have? I have the same thing now.
Now I have it too))) tell me what to do? I'm going to the doctor on Monday, but there are still 2 days ahead.
Now I have (did you find out what to do?
I had the same problem as the author of the question. I kept putting off visiting the doctor. Half a year passed, a rather deep hole appeared in that place, from which blood began to flow, it turned out that it was a boil that had matured and burst. Afterwards she was treated with chlorhexidine and levomekol. It’s good that I didn’t go to the surgeon, he most likely would have cut out the immature one.
A lump in the groin in women is a fairly common problem, but this does not make it any less significant. The etiology of the appearance of seals in the groin may indicate a serious pathology, and in some cases, cancer. That is why, if you have a lump in your groin, you should not engage in self-diagnosis and self-medication, so as not to provoke the development of irreversible processes in the body.
A lump near a woman’s groin requires a detailed examination, which, in addition to an external examination by a specialist, may include a number of laboratory tests if the doctor considers them necessary. As a rule, a lump in the groin area becomes a manifestation of the development of inguinal lymphadenitis, hidradenitis suppurativa, inflammation of the hair follicle, hernia prolapse, bartholinitis and, in rare cases, cancer.
Inguinal lymphadenitis develops against the background of inflammation of the lymph nodes in the groin area. The activity of the human lymphatic system is aimed at removing toxic elements, pathogens, and their waste products and decay from the body. If you have a lump in the groin area, this clearly indicates the localization of the pathology in the genitourinary system of the body or the lower extremities. Do not delay your visit to a specialist to determine the root cause of the inflammatory neoplasm.
A lump in a woman’s groin may appear as a result of a prolapsed inguinal hernia. If there is no pinching of the nerve endings, then such a lump does not cause pain or other discomfort, and in a supine position it moves into the abdominal cavity on its own. As a rule, treatment of an inguinal hernia is performed surgically.
Pus-filled bumps in the groin may result from infection of the sebaceous or sweat ducts ( hidradenitis ) or hair follicles ( folliculitis ) with a streptococcal or staphylococcal infection. In this case, the sites of inflammation are characterized by swelling and hyperemia of the skin. Often, such inflammations develop after the hair removal procedure or with insufficient hygienic care of the intimate area. It is not recommended to squeeze out purulent masses from the formed capsules yourself to prevent the infection from spreading to nearby healthy tissue. The fight against inflammatory elements is usually carried out using local anti-inflammatory creams and ointments.
A lump between the groin and leg may appear as a result of inflammation of the Barthollin glands , which are located in the vestibule of the vagina. The localization and treatment of the inflammatory process should be given special attention to prevent the disease from becoming chronic. Associated symptoms include constant nagging pain in the groin area and discomfort during sexual intercourse.
A lump in the groin area can also appear as a result of varicose veins in the thigh . The size of the cone, as a rule, is no larger than a walnut. During physical activity, the compaction becomes a cause of pain, can increase in size and be accompanied by hyperemia and swelling of the skin.
