What does groin pain when walking indicate?
Good day. I am a 32-year-old man and for some time I have had a vexing ailment when walking. It is about groin painwhich only occurs when walking. When I sit or lie down it is all right, even when I stand or walk for a while, I have no problems. However, when I go through a longer piece, I feel pain immediately. I would like to ask what the pain in the groin shows when walking?
Previously, I had no such problems, the first pain appeared about six months ago and since then I have been tormenting me more and more often. Eventually, I wondered if it was mine pain in the groin when walking I shouldn’t have gone to the doctor, but somehow I hadn’t been on my way so far, so I figured I’d ask a question here first. Could such pain in the groin when walking indicate some illness or a more serious illness? Which doctor should I go to with this problem and do I need to do some tests first? Please help.
