In the groin, the cone in men: what is it and what is dangerous?

When a lump appears in the groin of a man, you should immediately consult a doctor. The appearance of such hard swelling may be a sign of a serious illness. Especially if the lump in the groin hurts. Even if it has disappeared or dissolved, this does not mean that the danger has passed, although many after that are forgotten about the doctor - until her next appearance. But it is quite possible that the disease has already passed into a chronic form.

Why do lumps appear in the groin?

Various tumors, swelling and cones in the groin are signs of an illness. But it can only be determined by a doctor. A concha in the groin area may appear due to inflammation of the lymph nodes. The cause is often an atheroma or inguinal hernia. For diagnostics are of great importance:

• Already existing diseases;
• Dimensions, density and shape of the cone;
• temperature;
• The onset of pain;
• The location of the cone.

Lymphadenitis

If appeared in the groin of the cone in men, then a possible cause - inflammation of the lymph nodes. This disease is called lymphadenitis. Most often, this disease begins after viral, fungal and infectious diseases. Inflamed lymph nodes usually do not exceed large beans. Previously, lymphadenitis was treated by surgery. Now conservative methods are applied. But they can give a positive effect only in the early stages of the disease.

The main symptoms are:

• Lymph nodes are enlarged;
• The temperature rises;
• The appearance of pain;
• Inflammation in the cone.

The causes of inflammation of the lymph nodes can be:

• Disease of the genitourinary system;
• venereal diseases;
• oncology;
• Genital infections;
• prostatitis;
• Disease of the testicles;
• Helminthic invasions.

If a doctor is late and lymphadenitis is started, then purulent processes may begin. They spread deep into the body and cause phlegmon.

When does the lump appear in the groin?

With an athere, a dense round lump appears in the upper part of the groin. Inside it is a capsule with a dense mass, which is released through the duct. This cone is called the glandular cyst, or atheroma. The size of it can be with a walnut or develop to a huge tumor. Reasons for the appearance:

• Violation of the hormonal background;
• Sharp temperature changes;
• Various injuries and bruises;
• Non-compliance with hygiene;
• Fried and fatty foods;
• Toxic substances.

Inflammation begins when the ducts of the sebaceous glands are clogged. As a result, for accumulated fat, there is no way out. In the case of progressive inflammation, a subcutaneous abscess may begin.

In boys, a lump appears and as a result of a testicle that has not descended. But because of injuries or swelling of the scrotum, inguinal cones appear less frequently than for the reasons listed above.

Inguinal hernia

Often when hernia appears in the groin of the cone in men. It is formed due to the weakening of the muscles of the abdominal cavity. With tension (cough, exercise, etc.) begin to bulge intestinal loops, forming a bag. A lump appears in the groin on the left or on the right. There are pains and a red tinge of dense puffiness, which only increase with tension. The only way to treat is through surgical intervention.

Diagnosis of cones in the groin

If appeared in the groin of the cone in men - you need to contact the surgeon. The doctor conducts palpation, determines the consistency and mobility of the formation. Mandatory takes tests of urine and blood. To determine oncology, a biopsy, ultrasound and MRI are done. Treatment is prescribed only after the establishment of an accurate diagnosis.

Treatment and prevention of cones in the groin

They treat not the lump itself (this is a consequence, a peculiar signal of the organism), but the reason why it appeared. Do it with urologists and surgeons. First, medical methods are used and only after that - surgical intervention, if there is no other way of treatment. Sometimes, as, for example, with inguinal hernia, the only method is an immediate operation.
