    hi,

    I found a small marble sized hard lump in my pelvic region (slightly above penis and to the right to be exact). did abit of googling and all the symptoms point to a hernia although of course im more than likely wrong. however i wont be able to get a doctor's appointment this weekend. my options?

    1.call the dub doc tomorrow?

    2. hit the A&E ?


    its quite sore when i put pressure on it. but other than that i wouldnt even notice it. should i wait till tuesday and go to my GP ?

    If I were you, I really wouldn't wait to see a doctor. You could make things worse. Try and "nudge" your way into an appointment with your GP e.g. say that you're concerned about an unexplained growth.
    If that fails, an A&E doc might be for the best. Bring a good book for the wait though...
