BCG Treatment - Groin Swelling

Hi Leo, if it is painful , it may be best to ring the GP or NHS 111 to get advice. Hope you get it sorted quickly

Hi Leo,

Just when you think everything is back on track! Sounds to me like it could be an Inguinal hernia. Does the lump disappear when your bowel is empty? Both my boys had them as babies and this was the case with them. Can be very painful. It was like an egg in the groin area. Get it checked out Leo.

Hope you get some answers quickly.

Love Ade xx

Hi Leo,That sounds painful.I would get checked to rule out a hernia and avoid heavy lifting.Take care.Love Jane xx

We were posting at the same time Ade.That was my thought too as my partner had one.

Great minds think alike Jane  

My boys had them as babies and my Brother and Dad both had them too. Must be a family weakness. 

Love to you Ade xx

Hi Leo1. I agree with the other comments that this does sound like hernia and probably not linked with your BCG treatment. Have you contacted your GP? BW.

Hello Leo, GP or A&E first stop. Good to hear scans have been clear. Keep well IOGarviv

Hi all thanks for your replies much appreciated. I think I will contact my specialist nurse as 1st step, as the urology team might have to rule out any possible lymphatic involvement which is at the forefront of my mind.

Try not to worry Leo, my first thought was like the others of a Hernia following lifting heavy buckets. If you contact your specialist nurse will they see you today ?

Hi Angela, it will be next week. Funny thing seems to get smaller, then return to same size ish, then repeat. Odd.
