Hi Dr. Mathur
I went to a doctor, he said it could be appendicitis, so I did a sonography. all my internals seem to be fine in the abdomen pelvic area. I have PCOD.
The pain is now dull and it only comes when I am standing and that part of my skin is stretched. It comes when I suddenlt stand up after being seated for a long time, or if I stand for too long. When I am lying down, even if I press into the area, or stretch there is no pain at all. The weird thing is that during the doctors examination and during the sonography and even after that there was no pain inspite of all the pressing and probing!
I just cant understand what this pain is due to. Please help me out!
Thanks
Hi!
I assume that by ‘below the abdomen’ you mean groin. Groin pain can occur due to several causes like swollen lymphnodes, epididymitis, orchitis, testicular torsion, hernia, kidney stones, inflammation of large and small intestine, hip joint involvement due to arthritis etc, and muscle pull. Apart from these it can also be a pinched nerve.
Diagnosis will involve clinical examination, and may involve X-ray, MRI, blood tests, STD panels, CT scan of abdomen etc. Please discuss with your doctor. Take care!

An update...
Now it is like a constant pain in that one horizontal line. Is this a ligament tear?
Pls help me figure this out
