    Pain in the groin area and pain in the abdominal area in general is often misdiagnosed. Since 80% of unexplained pain is the result of soft tissue pain or fascial pain (pain from constricted soft tissue in the groin or abdominal area) it is highly likely that your pain is the result of scar tissue from your surgery OR adhered tissue in or around these areas. Soft tissue (muscles, tendons ligaments, and fascia - the casing that surrounds every layer muscle and all of the organs in our body) is the likely hidden culprit here. I have treated numerous patients successfully by doing Myofascial Release in these areas. Typically, palpating the painful area reveals thick adhered tissue in the deep layer (not seen by MRIs, ultrasound or x-rays) which can be gently restored with advanced massage technique - also called soft tissue manipulation. A well trained massage therapist will serve you better than any other health care practitioner in this regard. I recommend seeing one. It is safe, effective and will get to the root cause of your symptoms in just a few sessions - depending on how long you have had the symptoms. I hope this is helpful.

    You are not saying that a massage therapist is better trained and can find and solve issues a doctor can not do. I hope you are not telling them not to go to a medical doctor but to a massage therapist first

    Let me qualify my answer Chuck: No, I'm not telling people to see a massage therapist for initial treatment, and no, if one has groin pain, they should not just go see any massage therapist they can find. I AM saying that, if after MRIs, ultrasounds and an exam with a Dr. is inconclusive, a well trained massage therapist or bodywork, trained in advanced techniques like Myofascial Release, Trigger Point therapy and/ or Orthopedic or clinical massage may be able to isolate the pain and resolve the issue. What doctors or even Physical Therapists out there would have the 1000 hours plus of training in soft tissue palpation to be able to actually isolate and restore unhealthy soft tissue? They do not have this experience. In there defense, they are much too busy "frying bigger fish". If it is not seen on an MRI, and no tests are conclusive for disease, most Doctors move on and send the patient onward. Physical Therapists may be more apt to recommend soft tissue therapy but they often only recommend exercises. This is an issue when people are in too much pain to do them...

    Partial hysterectomy? Total hysterectomy? You said you have no ovaries... but you could have a fibroid tumor (harmless tumors that attach themselves to uterus, cervix and exterior vagina). You could also have a mass on your bladder - you said it hurts when you use the restroom. Urination or bowel movement? Nothing to mess with... you need to see a doctor!
