 History of trauma 15 years back, while lifting the lorry back door, slipped and got hit during this. 

After this incindent in 1-2 months he noticed a swelling in the groin which is gradually increased in size, painless. He neglected the swelling due to no pain.

In 2019, just before corona period his wife got a swelling in the post auricular region for which he came to our hospital. Then he also went for checkup for the swelling in scrotum where our doctors diagnosed it as hydrocele. And suggested to have surgery to be done for it. But he refused to it because he has no money for surgery at that time and just his wife got treated.

In 2019 itself during corona time, he again visited our hospital with sufficient money( given by his son). But it was very difficult to do surgery at that time because of high wave period of corona patients in the hospital. Then he went back to his village.

He has 3 daughters and one son, all are married and lives at different places except his son who lives in the same village. 

His first daughter was died by committing suicide of family issues and disturbances with her husband. Then the patient(father) filed a case against the husband and their family. After this incident the son in law filed a case against the patient itself that they tried to ruin their family in several ways.

 A case was filed against this patient and then due to this the factory management removed him from his job 15 years ago.

From then he was staying at home with no specific job, but went to some contracted works in farming fields.
