What Causes Temporary Hard Mass In Mons Pubis Of Infant?
My 3 mo old granddaughter hard mass in mons pubis area during crying jag, actually it was on each side. It disappeared when she calmed down. I was changing her diaper at the time. I am a L&D nurse with nursery/ppm experience, have never seen this. All is fine now and the lumps have not made another appearance.

Hi,
From history it seems that she might be having infantile inguinal hernia appearing during increase intra-abdominal pressure like crying, coughing.
After pressure releases swelling subsides.
With advance age and health this might become alright.
Consult pediatric surgeon and get examined.
Ok and take care.
