Groin Pain

Yes I had this symptom shortly before being diagnosed with suspected advanced prostrate cancer. There may well be a case for going on Hormone therapy as soon as possible, so I would definitely speak again to your doctor or consultant.      

Thanks for your response Sussex20.

I'm not now sure calling my GP before we know the full picture will serve any purpose.

As I've said previously on this forum, it's the waiting for news and appointments that add to one's anxiety. 

Of course lots of us are having to play the waiting game, but it's just concerning that all this waiting time gives the cancer more time to do it's nasty work before a treatment can even start!

All the best to you in your journey and thanks again.

Hi I have been diagnose with localised prostate cancer Had MRI scan Biopsy and a bone scan. Thankfully its confined to the prostate. I have the same as you a dull ache  in the groin. Like you it comes in waves. I'm still waiting on an appointment with the Oncologist, have an appointment with a Surgeon next month. I did phone and told the specialist nurse about the ache. The nurse assured me it had not spread even though I have this ache.

Hi. A dull ache that comes and goes sounds very much like prostatitis. Did it start after your biopsy?

Thanks Raaid,

As I said I have my bone scan next week so that will be crucial in understanding more.

Hi David193,

Thanks for your reply.

Groin pains started some time ago, well before my biopsies were taken.

I had thought they were due to the epididymal cyst that I was diagnosed with several years ago but perhaps they've been due to my current condition.

yes and got worse after the bone scan
