Pains in the groin

About one week before my period I get really bad pains in my groin area and in my lower back.  It hurts the most to try to go to the bathroom.  I am still able to go to the bathroom, it just hurts.  The pain continues even when I am not going to the bathroom.  It will hurt from anywhere between one day and a whole week. What is the cause of this pain? Is it related to my period?

I get these pains too. Except mine happen not only when I'm on my period, but other times as well. Mine hurt as well when I try to use the bathroom and sometimes after going, I'll feel deeper pains and discomfort for hours afterward. I'm going to scrounge up the $ to finally see the dr and hope it helps.. maybe that'd be your best bet too. Sorry I'm no help.

Sounds like it may be the swelling of your ovaries during your period and ovulation, especially if that is the only time you have the pain.

I have gotten the pain before.  When it happens, it usually happens again the following month, but then it will go away for months. It is a sharp pain in my lower groin and in my lower back.

Wow.I have been hurting in the groin for nearly six months. I have all kinds of tests from a transvaginal to a ct scan..................but dr. still do not know what is causing it.You could possibly have a urinary tract infection............... Have you ever gotten the groin pain before or is the first episode? Does it feel like a pulling or just a pain? Hope to hear back........take care...
