What Causes Mild Shooting Pain And A Protrusion Near The Groin While Coughing?

I have had a virus of some sort lately, and during this I was coughing very hard. I felt something pop in my groin area, and now when I cough, I can feel like a golf ball size or maybe smaller, protruding from my right side of groin area, sometimes with mild shooting pains

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have protrusion near the groin. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like mononucleosis , hernia , sexually transmitted infections , saphena varix or local infection . I would suggest you to apply warm compresses , keep the site clean and dry , wear loose cloths , apply over the counter antibiotics ointment and also apply betadine . If condition doesn't get better then consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor may prescribe anti bacterial or anti viral depending upon the diagnosis . Doctor may prescribe corticosteroid ointment and anti inflammatory .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
