What Causes A Painful Lump On The Groin?

Hi I am a 39 year old woman. 5 foot 9 inches tall and currently overweight at 250 pounds (have already lost 30 pounds thanks to Weight Watchers). I noticed a lump on the left side of my groin. It is hard and feels about golf ball size to me. Hurts when pushed. Is it possible I may have pulled something or could it be from masterbating while my husband was away. I used a very strong massager not really used to.

Hi,
From history it seems that there might be having either,
1, enlarged tender inguinal lymph node due to some infection in your lower genital tract perhaps due to masurbation. or,
2, developing direct inguinal hernia.
Consult surgeon and get examined.
Ok and take care.
