What Causes Right Sided Groin Pain?

Sharp intermittent right side groin pain. Lasts approx 2 secs. Started for first time 2 months ago. History kidney infection, and because of this scar tissue in right kidney with small calcifications. Also had urinary tract infection a month ago. Doesn't seem to be related to movement. Seems to becoming more regular and sharper. Can't feel any signs of hernia. Doctor thought it might be nerve related but I'm not sure, thinking it might beva kidney stone?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It is possibly a kidney stones. Previous infection might have caused predisposition to develop a stone. Get an ultrasound scan to look for any stones anywhere in your urinary tract. You can take antispasmodic drugs like cyclopam for pain relief. Drink plenty of water as minor stones will flushed away with hydration. If ultrasound shows stones better to consult a urologist and he will direct you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
