What Causes Sharp Pain In Groin Area?
Question: Awakened with a sharp pain on my right groin area where right leg is attached to pelvic area. It looks like there is a vein there. It was a very sharp pain. The pain has subsided somewhat, but, this is the second time in the past month I have been awakened with it in same area.
Brief Answer:
can be due to ureteric stone or ovarian cyst
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing to HCM.
That sharp pain which is waking you up in the night can be either due to a ureteric calculi or an ovarian cyst. If the pain is very intense, I suggest you to visit the ER. The doctor would order for an ultrasound examination of abdomen and pelvis to rule out the same.
If the pain has reduced, then drink plenty of fluids and visit your local physician.
Hope i have been helpful.
