The inguinal region is located in the lower abdominal region and is bordered by the thigh.
This place is the inguinal canal, through which large femoral blood vessels pass.
In the male body, the seminal cord is located at this place and the loops of the intestines are formed here, forming a hernia.
In case of inguinal pain, doctors are primarily suspected of forming a hernia. The hernia is usually formed when the supporting tissues are weakened, as a result of which the intestinal loops begin to move from the abdominal cavity to the groin area. Visually, this hernia resembles a swelling in the groin.
If there is a significant growth of the lymph nodes in the inguinal area, but acute pain is absent, then all signs of a malignant or benign tumor are before us. Similar symptoms can be found in patients with certain sexually transmitted diseases( eg syphilis).
Tumor in the groin in men is often met for the reason that men's work is more closely related to high physical stress( lifting and transporting weights).This condition is very dangerous, because the anatomical position of the hernia is more seriously affected by the infringement.
You can put yourself the correct preliminary diagnosis on the following grounds:
- sharp pain in the groin;
- marked swelling, not felt in a lying position, but interfering with walking.
Avoid self-treatment and immediately go to see a doctor.
Tumor in the groin in men can be a consequence of inflammation of the lymph nodes.
Usually inflammations of inguinal lymph nodes are caused by:
- viral infections;
- benign and malignant tumors;
- infectious lesions of the genitals.
Inflammation of the lymph nodes in the male groin is a serious enough disease, subject to medical intervention. Tumor and suppuration of inguinal lymph nodes can be caused by necrosis of inflamed tissues. When a suppurative tumor is detected, immediate surgical intervention is required, that is, the incision of the diseased node and removal of all purulent contents. The operation should be carried out using antibiotics and antimicrobials in a strict, disinfected environment.
The most serious tumor in the groin in men is a cancerous tumor.
It must be diagnosed as soon as possible and more accurately for a more successful treatment.
Cancer inguinal swelling may appear as a result of an advanced hernial process, or it may be the result of an inflammatory disease of the lymph nodes.
In addition, a cancerous tumor can be the result of a genetic disease.
The most reliable treatment for a malignant cancerous tumor is a surgical operation. The benign inguinal tumor in some cases is amenable to drug treatment.
