I know you must get lots of posts asking this same question but anyway I am 18 and I noticed a lump yesterday on my groin and im not sure if its a hernia. I play alot of basketball and ive bin playing every day for the past 2 weeks so I don't know if thats got anything to do with it. I've done the cough test but I dont feel anything. And it doesnt hurt when I bend down to touch my toes or do a sit up. Have you got any idea of what this could be and is it a hernia ?

I've got an appointment at the doctors on friday but I just want to put my mind at rest.

Thanks in advance :d
