Hi ! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. Even though it is good to be concerned about ones own health, one should not become frightened or obsessive on cancer for a dull ache in the abdomen. If I were your doctor, I would go for a clinical examination of your inguinal region both in lying down and in standing position to rule out a developing inguinal hernia which could give rise to such discomfort. If proved otherwise, I would then consider an ultrasound of abdomen to rule out any intrapelvic organ pathology giving rise to such discomfort. Further management would depend on the result of clinical assessment and related investigations. Till then, you could go for an anti-spasmodic Chat Doctor. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.
