Inguinal Hernia
If a bulge appears in the left groin accompanied by pain, an inguinal hernia may be present. This occurs when tissue protrudes through the abdominal wall into the groin. An inguinal hernia may also produce burning, heaviness and weakness in the groin, and the scrotum in a male may become swollen.
Inguinal hernias may be congenital, but they often develop later in life, especially in men. If the physician cannot manipulate the protruding tissue back into place, surgery may be needed.3‘Inguinal Hernia: Types, Symptoms, Diagnosis & Treatments.’ Cleveland Clinic, my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/16266-inguinal-hernia
