When to see a doctor? It is prudent to have an evaluation when you detect a bulge in that area, and urgently if the lump becomes painful, hard, or does not go back in.

Which specialist treats it? The general surgeon is the professional who evaluates and follows up on this type of hernia. If you notice a lump in the groin, the advisable thing is to have a specialist examine it.
