What Could The Fluttering Sensation In Groin Be?

I am experiencing a regular fluttering feeling in my groin timed with heart beat like fluid through a drinking straw. i am 50 yo male. 180cm and 105kg. not a regular exerciser but do walk a lot.- 3km per day. I am concerned it may be a narrowing of femoral artery or similar.

Hi, please answer these questions to be able to help you better.
1. Have you had any intervention done in your femoral artery like an Angiography?
2. Is there a swelling in the area.
3. Which side is it?
4. Do you have any pain while walking that you have to rest and sit down?
If not, then Femoral arterial disease is unlikely. But it can be affirmatively ruled out by a Color Doppler test which you can organize by discussing with your doctor or GP. If it is normal, then you need not worry. Do let me know the report for further advice. You can also contact me directly by posting a query on 'Ask a Specialist' section.
Take care,
Dr Rishi, New Delhi, India.
