What Causes Discomfort In The Groin Area?

I woke up this am and felt a bruit type feeling in my R groin. I couldn t actually feel it with my fingers but there was a definite buzz sensation....no pain, no swelling, no chest pain or SOB. The sensation disappeared in about 45 min. and returned again this evening...... your thoughts? Thinking the worst, I told the people I work with that it s probably the blood rushing around the emboli that is about to break loose. I m 65.

Pathologist and Microbiologist 's  Response
Hello,

Bruit is heard in areas of turbulent blood flow.

It can be due to blood vessel disease or a shunt.

I suggest you consult your surgeon for a doppler ultrasound of the region.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shailja Puri, Pathologist and Microbiologist
