What Causes Severe Pain In The Groin Area?
Dear Doctor, I am a sixty eight year old female, normally in good health, and not overweight. I do not smoke or drink, and take regular exercise. For two days I have had a very painful stitch like pain in my left loin. It comes on out of the blue every ten minutes or so. It feels as if I have been stabbed. It stops after about three seconds. The pain is so severe that I cry out in pain. Please help asap. Thank you

Hello ma'am and welcome.
I completely understand and have my doubts about a few possibilities like ovarian cysts, possible hernia in the region, etc. I would however recommend an ultrasound examination of the region to get a more clear view on the possible cause, and from there on treatment should be easy.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
