What causes a lump in the inner thigh groin?

The thigh muscles are well developed and have more fat reserves, making it a relatively strong limb in the human body with a very high bearing capacity. The thigh supports people's walking, so thigh diseases will affect the patient's ability to move. Other symptoms in the thigh should not be ignored. For example, what happens if there is a lump in the inner groin of the thigh? Let’s take a look at the simple explanation below. I hope everyone can understand the lump in the inner thigh and groin.

Lumps in the inner thigh and groin are mainly lipomas, which are common benign tumors. There are many reasons for the formation of lipomas, and the specific reasons are not yet very clear. The main reasons are as follows:

1. Since this type of tumor is more likely to occur in fat-rich areas, obese patients are more likely to develop the disease than normal patients.

2. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the formation of lipoma is related to the liver and spleen. Therefore, people who are often angry, irritable, and overly worried are more likely to suffer from this type of disease.

3. Irregular daily diet can also damage the liver and spleen, especially patients who skip breakfast for a long time and those who eat high-cholesterol foods for a long time are most likely to suffer from this type of disease.

Dangers of lipoma:

Lipoma is a benign tumor that originates from adipose tissue. Lipomas are mostly solitary, a few are multiple, have clear boundaries, are round or lobed, soft in texture, may have a pseudocystic feeling, and are painless. Lipomas grow slowly, most are small in size, and a few can reach 5 to 6 cm in diameter. Lipoma is composed of differentiated mature fat cells, and the tumor tissue is divided into fat lobules of varying sizes by varying amounts of fibrous cords. If there are more fibrous components, it is called fibrolipoma; if there are rich blood vessels, it is called angiolipoma.

If a single subcutaneous lipoma causes movement dysfunction, surgical resection can be performed; multiple small lipomas do not need to be treated because they are self-limited and may even disappear on their own; deep lipomas have the possibility of malignant transformation, that is, turning into liposarcoma, so they need to be closely observed and regularly reviewed by B-ultrasound. If the tumor proliferates rapidly or compression symptoms occur, surgical resection and pathological section examination should be performed; if it has turned into a liposarcoma, chemotherapy or radiotherapy should also be considered after surgery to improve the cure rate.
