What Causes Pain In Right Leg/groin And Swelling In Scrotum?

Yes,you can. My husband has all the symptoms of an inguinal hernia. swelling in the scrotum,one sided pain in his right leg/groin. He has ITP,COPD and is overweight. The pain lessens when he lays down or sits on a bed. He has a call in to his doctor but i am very worried. What should we watch for to know if he needs to go to the emergency room? Thank you.

Hello
Thanks for query .

Based on the symptoms that you have narrated your husband has Left Inguinal Hernia.

Please consult qualified General Surgeon for clinical examination and get following basic tests done to confirm the diagnosis.
1) Urine routine and culture.
2) Ultrasound scanning of abdomen and pelvis
3) Ultrasound Scanning of Scrotum.

If it turns out to be due to Inguinal Hernia he needs to get it operated at earliest as there is high risk of it getting obstructed giving rise to severe pain ,vomiting and irreducible swelling in groin which will need him to go to Emergency Room.
