![Page 20: CSP Groin Lump](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061115/54636e0bb1af9fbc4d8b568f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

![Page 21: CSP Groin Lump](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061115/54636e0bb1af9fbc4d8b568f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
• If the patient’s general condition looks normal, the patient is asked to stand up in front of you.
• Ask the patient politely to expose his/her inguinal region.
![Page 22: CSP Groin Lump](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061115/54636e0bb1af9fbc4d8b568f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
• If there is no lump, you ask the patient to perform Valsava manoeuvre:
• Ask the patient’s head to turn one side. Ask the patient to cover his/her mouth with one of hands, and blow air through the mouth. While doing this, allow the patient to strain and watch for any visible lump from both inguinal and femoral regions, and scrotal regions for male patients.
![Page 23: CSP Groin Lump](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061115/54636e0bb1af9fbc4d8b568f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Groin Examination
X
• Position• Temperature• Pain• Size• Shape• Tensile strength• Composition (solid, gas, liquid)• Changes with cough
![Page 24: CSP Groin Lump](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061115/54636e0bb1af9fbc4d8b568f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
If there is a lump on the inguinal or femoral region,
a. Inspect the lump and determine:– The colour of the lump: Redness?– The shape and location of the lump– Skin edema
b. Palpate the lump, determine :– Sign of local tenderness– The content
![Page 25: CSP Groin Lump](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061115/54636e0bb1af9fbc4d8b568f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
• Try to reduce the lump manually by using your fingers, starting from the external ring or the most lower part of the lump, going up to internal ring (Anatomical landmark: Anterior Superior Iliac Spine, pubic tubercle).
• If it fails, do not continue. The success procedure is indicated when the lump disappears with or without gurgle sounds.
![Page 26: CSP Groin Lump](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061115/54636e0bb1af9fbc4d8b568f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
• Put your right index finger above the inguinal canal or place your right/left fingers on the external ring and the opposite fingers on the internal ring or on top of any noticeable lump.
• Ask the patient to repeat the valsava manoeuvre, watch if there is lump coming out from the rings.
• Determine the position of the lump in relation with inguinal ligament:
![Page 27: CSP Groin Lump](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061115/54636e0bb1af9fbc4d8b568f/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Finger test
![Page 28: CSP Groin Lump](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061115/54636e0bb1af9fbc4d8b568f/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Differential Diagnosis
• Indirect inguinal hernia (no lump, if the fingers compression released, the lump will reappear).
• Direct inguinal hernia (Round Lump above inguinal ligament)
• Femoral hernia (Lump below the inguinal ligament/pubic tubercle).
![Page 29: CSP Groin Lump](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061115/54636e0bb1af9fbc4d8b568f/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
• If a scrotal lump presents, grasp the swelling between fingers and thumb, and ascertain whether it is possible to get above the swelling.
• Determine its continuity with the inguinal canal.
• Using flash light, determine whether there is any trans-illumination.
![Page 30: CSP Groin Lump](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061115/54636e0bb1af9fbc4d8b568f/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
• Ask the patient to lie down on the couch in supine position.
• Examine the vital signs:– Temperature– Pulse rate– Blood Pressure– Respiratory rate
![Page 31: CSP Groin Lump](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061115/54636e0bb1af9fbc4d8b568f/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

Abdominal Examination:
Inspection :
• Inspect the movement:– Respiratory movement– Visible bowel peristaltis
• Is there any abdominal distention?
![Page 33: CSP Groin Lump](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061115/54636e0bb1af9fbc4d8b568f/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Abdominal Examination:
Palpation:• Using the palmar surface of your fingers,
gently palpate the abdomen. • While palpating, look to the face
expression of the patient, and look for any signs of :– Tenderness– Rebound tenderness– Muscle guarding– Rigidity– Hernial orifices
![Page 34: CSP Groin Lump](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061115/54636e0bb1af9fbc4d8b568f/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Abdominal Examination:
Percussion:• Place the palmar aspect of your left hand
on the abdomen, and gently percuss its dorsal aspect with the tip of the middle finger of the right hand, moving all around the abdominal region:– Is it tymphanitic?– Is it Dull ?– Is there any shifting dullness?– Site of liver dullness ? and is it disappeared ?
![Page 35: CSP Groin Lump](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061115/54636e0bb1af9fbc4d8b568f/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Abdominal Examination:
Auscultation
• Using stethoscope, and place it gently on the abdomen, listen to the bowel sounds and bruit at least for a minute:– Normal– Absent?– High pitched and hyperactive?– Metallic sound?
![Page 36: CSP Groin Lump](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061115/54636e0bb1af9fbc4d8b568f/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Groin Examination:
• Perform the groin examination as you perform on standing position.
• Auscultation on top of a hernia may allow the detection of bowel sounds, which can be useful information if you are unsure as to the nature of an inguinal bulge.
