<s>[INST] Hi,  I had a bladder sling and a little bit of other work done about a year and half ago. I have developed a bulge on my right groin area that is painful.  Could this be related to my bladder or sling.  I had it come up a few months back and it went away. Now it's back and very sore and sensitive to the touch. Very concerned. [/INST] Hi,From history it seems that you might be having indirect or direct inguinal hernia giving rise this problem.There might be having enlarged inguinal lymph nodes as well.Consult surgeon and get examined.Physical examination will give very precise conclusion regarding your problem.Ok and take care. </s>
