I dont know how to feel

Recently I have come across a lump located next to my reproductive organ (not that this has anything to do with my digestive system) and it is growing in size, I'm 17, what is the chance of prostate C?

It's worth getting checked out at the doctor - I'd book an appointment. Lumps can be many things, don't worry until after you've had it looked at.

If it is a lump located between the top of your leg and your genitals. Don't worry too much, the chances are it will just be a small Hernia. They are very common and easily dealt with. I had a similar thing about 10yrs ago.

That is literally spot on. It's between where my upper leg meets my pelvis so I'll just assume that's the case because it was painful at first but now it doesn't hurt? It's like the 3rd one I've found in a couple months and I saw my gp about the first 2 and she said it was scar tissue. Thanks

Just make an appointment with your gp, tell them that you have a Hernia. They will give you a quick examination and will tell you that you will need a small surgical procedure. Don't worry about that small means "small" in this case. I was in for mine in the morning, and back home the same day in time for dinner. All the best mate, also, do something about your diet as I read your other post.
