Private Groin and Hernia Ultrasound Scan
A Groin and Hernia Ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging technique used to evaluate the structures in the groin area. This scan is highly effective for diagnosing hernias, groin pain, and swelling by providing real-time images of the tissues and muscles. It helps identify the root cause of discomfort and guides appropriate treatment.
What Conditions Can a Groin and Hernia Ultrasound Diagnose?
This ultrasound is effective in diagnosing:
- 🔹 Inguinal Hernia: The most common type of hernia, occurring when abdominal tissue pushes through the inguinal canal.
- 🔹 Femoral Hernia: Occurs lower in the groin, often more common in women.
- 🔹 Sports Hernia (Athletic Pubalgia): A condition causing chronic groin pain due to a tear or strain in the soft tissue.
- 🔹 Muscle Strains or Tears: Injuries to the groin muscles or tendons can be identified.
- 🔹 Groin Lumps: Unexplained lumps or swelling, which may be cysts, lymph nodes, or other soft tissue abnormalities.
- 🔹 Swelling or lumps in the groin area
- 🔹 Fluid collections (such as seromas or hematomas)
Who Should Have a Groin and Hernia Ultrasound?
You should consider this ultrasound if you are experiencing:
- 🔹 A noticeable lump or bulge in the groin that worsens when standing or straining
- 🔹 Discomfort or heaviness in the groin after physical activity
- 🔹 Symptoms of hernia recurrence after previous surgery
- 🔹 Pain during activities like lifting, coughing, or exercising

• Pain or discomfort and swelling in the groin or abdominal wall, especially when bending over, coughing, lifting, or moving heavy items

The most common finding is an inguinal hernia where visceral fat or a loop of bowel protrudes through the inguinal canal, followed by hernias at different sites (femoral hernia, umbilical hernia, epigastric hernia, spigelian hernia, incisional hernia), muscular injuries (abdominal muscle strain or tear), lesions to the linea alba (diastasis recti), and injuries to the pubic symphysis or ribs.
Frequently, the felt bulge can represent a benign lipoma, enlarged or inflamed lymph node, or other benign soft tissue lesion.
Rarely, there is an incidental finding of infection, tumour or cancer.
At Phoenix Ultrasound, our skilled professionals are trained to identify and interpret a range of conditions, providing you with a comprehensive assessment of your health.
