Hello,
Thanks for your query at DoctorSpring.

Does the swelling decrease with lying down posture and increase with coughing/ standing?
Is there any localized painful swelling/ tender on touching?

With the available described details, there could be possibility of inguinal
hernia. Inguinal hernia occurs due to weakening in fascia of abdominal wall.

Inguinal hernia could be direct or indirect depending on the location of
protrusion.

Direct inguinal hernia are common in old age while indirect inguinal hernia may occur at any age.

You should consult with general surgeon and should go for thorough check up.
Clinical examination may confirm whether direct or indirect inguinal hernia.

As such there appears to be least possibility of any surgery yet now, if
painless.

Take care,
Let me know your other query.
Dr. Mayank Bhargava
