What Causes Pain In The Groin Area?

default
Posted on Wed, 12 Oct 2016
Question: I'm a 62 year old male that's worked physically hard all my life. I have a pain in my groin, somewhat to the left of center and slightly below belt-line. I thought a hernia was the issue. I had a physical and by exam both hernia and prostate were ruled out. He thought a pulled muscle but it's been going on for over a year and I have been treating a lab-real tear so haven't done much for months. I go to Mayo and would see a specialist if recommended. Thanks, XXXXXXX
