Hi,I am Dr. Radhakrishna (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Is Sharp Pain At The Lower Abdomen And Above The Thigh Indicative Of Hernia?
I have a sharp pain at the front of my hip at the top of my thigh where it nears my lower abdomen. This pain only occurs when I bend over and lasts there after for a few seconds. It then goes away and does not recur until I bend over again. Any idea what this could be? Maybe a hernia?
It is unlikely be an hernia. The symptoms are more likely suggestive of musculo-skeletal causes like sprain or contusion. As of now you can use analgesics/anti inflammatory combination like Aceclofenac/Seratiopeptdase for symptomatic relief. You can go for an ultrasound scan to rule out hernia.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Wishing you all the best.
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
