About 6 to 8 months ago I notice a tender bulge in the groin but I did
not give it much attention. The tender bulge in the groin area had
dessapear, but today I went to the doctor and in the caugh process he
notice a bulge only when I caugh hard. He thinks that could be a
Hernia but he is not sure, tomorrow I'm seen a surgen to see if he
feels the hernia or not. If the Hernia is that small is it necessary
to get surgery and why did the bulge go away. Also let me mention I
workout in the gym could this be a tear muscle or something like that?

That's a typical description of an inguinal hernia. The bulge is intestine
pushing through the abnormal opening in your muscle wall. Sometimes that
loop of intestine will protrude through that opening, then with gravity or
relaxation it will go back where it belongs. Smaller hernias are generally
more problematic and have more associated risk of strangulation than larger
ones. It will never go away without surgery, it will only get bigger.

Thanks for both of your response.
Could the doctor deternmine if it's a Hernia by just touching and
caught or does he need some type of scan?
thanks again
