What Causes Severe And Constant Pain In The Groin?

I have pain where top of legs meets bottom of stomach. Hurts most when sitting. When I get up it is like something catches. Pain is constant and has gotten worse the past week or so. Pain burns sometimes. Just had my annual OBGYN apt. I had an ultra sound all was clear so I know it is not a female issue.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have severe and constant pain in the groin . Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to may reasons like avascular necrosis , bursitis , epididymitis , hydrocele , inguinal hernia , muscle strain , pinched nerve or sciatica . I would suggest you to consult general surgeon for proper examination . Doctor will examine physically or order ultrasound or x-ray to confirm the diagnosis . Doctor may refer you to orthopedic surgeon if the problem is related to muscle strain . Doctor may prescribe analgesic , anti inflammatory or antibiotics . For now apply warm compresses on groin area , take proper rest and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain . Wear loose cloths and do not scratch or massage .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
