I have just returned from a short break away and read your reply to my question. By "brief" I meant a slight short throb in my lower groin area, around my hip area. It seems to have stopped now after three days. I will probably never know what it was, however, it was something have not experience before. If you can throw any light on my question still, I would be very interested to know. Many thanks.XXXX

Brief Answer: Observing it will be the strategy.... Detailed Answer: Dear XXXXXXX I am glad you are better now. So I shall enlighten you about possible cause. Short intermittent aches are typical of colic pains. Here in the groin region, colicy pain is related to small hernia and referred pain from a renal stone / ovarian - fallopian tube pathology. Similarly pelvic organ infections can be referred to this area. Since you do not report / noticed other associated complaints, I would name referred pain from a passing kidney stone as the most likely cause. But if you can retrospectively brush your memory and think if you had abnormal discharge pervaginally; pain/discomfort while passing urine; unusual stool movement; nausea; vomiting; fever, other conditions need to be considered. At this moment, I would not alarm you. Watch for any new symptoms during the next couple of weeks. Make sure you keep hydrated. Maintain good personal hygiene. Consider a visit to a GP if things trouble you. Hope this helped. Feel free to ask for clarifications before closing the discussion. Regards

Thank you so much for your time and attention to detail. I will print out your answer and be observant, as suggested. I simply didn't want to have to panic as I was going away. GP's are great, but not always when you want a little more TLC. Many thanks once again - money well spent. Kind regards. XXXX
