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.
However, as the scan involves exposing the abdomen and groin, we recommend wearing clothing that allows easy access.
The report and images will be sent to you, allowing you to discuss the findings with your doctor if necessary.
