Groin Heaviness
In the early stages of an inguinal hernia, you might not feel any obvious symptoms. However, when the bulge grows in size, it would squeeze the intestine. This leads to a feeling of increased pressure or heaviness around the groin. It is quite similar to the sensation when you stand for an extended period or when you are engaging in activities that raise the pressure in the abdomen, such as urinating, coughing, or heavy lifting. Since this is a clear sign, make sure to inform your healthcare provider to get the best diagnosis and treatment. [3]
