[26F] With severe groin pain and associated symptoms

What might be happening

Based on the information you've provided, the following conditions could be causing your symptoms:

• Urinary Tract Infection (UTI): This is an infection in any part of your urinary system — your kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra. Most infections involve the lower urinary tract — the bladder and the urethra. Pain and discomfort in the lower abdomen and groin area, along with a burning sensation during urination, are common symptoms.

  • Treatment typically involves antibiotics to clear the infection. Drinking plenty of water can help to flush bacteria out of your system.

• Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID): This is an infection of the female reproductive organs. It usually occurs when sexually transmitted bacteria spread from your vagina to your uterus, fallopian tubes or ovaries. The symptoms can be quite variable and may include pain in your lower abdomen and pelvis.

  • Treatment typically involves antibiotics to clear the infection.

• Vulvodynia: This is a chronic pain condition that affects a woman's outer genitals, including the vulva. The burning sensation you described is a common symptom.

  • Treatment can involve a variety of strategies, including medication, biofeedback therapy, local anesthetics, and more.

What you can do

Please seek immediate medical attention. The symptoms you're experiencing are severe and require a professional medical evaluation. You should not attempt to treat these symptoms on your own.

What you should look out for

If your symptoms worsen or if you develop new symptoms such as fever, vomiting, or blood in your urine, seek medical attention immediately. These could be signs of a more serious condition.
