Dear customer,
Its better that you get the ct scan of the abdomen done to rule out other causes as well.Sometimes the tumour or mass lession may also cause swelling and pain in the groin which needs to be treated accordingly.
The ct scan, sonography of abdomen will help us in confirming the diagnosis and treat accordingly.
thank you
