Hello,

As you mentioned the indentation over the high region, is it on the anterior aspect of the posterior aspect.

If it is on the anterior aspect, I mean over the waist bone front side then it may or may not be an iguinal hernial.

We can rule this out by doing an ultrasound scan over the area and find out. If that indentation is troubling and giving pain while walking then it may need surgical removal.

In case the indentation you mentioned is on the posterior aspect, I mean over the back side then it should be get examined first by a general physician that it is any lump or some notch.

We come to a conclusion if the diagnosis is made properly based on the proper clinical complaints.

As your history is little, in general, it is difficult for me to give you a precise diagnosis.

But in general, I have given an opinion about what it could be so please take a good call.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
