Hello,

You have not mentioned if it does decrease in size in any position if there is a difference in size, then it could be an inguinal hernia. Other possible causes are lymph nodal enlargement, due to infections or inflammations and underlying medical and systemic diseases.

I would recommend you to see your general physician, and if you have any cause get treated. If you have no medical condition, then get an ultrasound swelling done, it will characterize the lesion and its extensions.

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

Regards,
Dr. Ganesh
