Accepted Answer

Hernia?: If it always refers to one specific area, particularly if there is a bulge (occasional or continual), it might be a hernia. You should be seen by your dr or urgent care for exam, and if consistent, they can refer you to a surgeon for definitive (= surgical) management.

Question 4

Hernia?: Sounds as if you might have a hernia. Since you are having pain, this needs to be seen by a doctor.

Question 5

what is the cause of tingling and itching sensation in head, chest and groin area after sneezing and orgasm?

Accepted Answer

: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without taking additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor and discuss if you may be depressed. Counter-intuitive as it may seem, exercise may help. Start with low intensity exercise such as walking and gradually increase the intensity as tolerated. Drink more water. Wish you good health!

Question 6

i keep having a pain in my groin every time i sneeze or cough too hard. my gynecologist says its just ovulatory pain, but i have it all month long. could i be pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Consider hernia: Pain in the groin associated with cough or sneeze could be caused by an inguinal hernia.  You may want to consider seeing a general surgeon.  If you are pregnant, management should be deferred until after the pregnancy.

Question 8

pain in ureter for 1 yr, when i sneeze awful pain &when sitting radiates to groin area and thigh, ct+cystoscopy= normal, i'm uncomfortable at all :(?

Accepted Answer

Lumbar spine: It is likely from your lumbar spine (L3-4). That is the distribution of that nerve root. An MRI is needed to show the discs and nerve roots.

Question 9

had open inguinal surgury 10 days ago. am slowly recovering. is it normal to have such instense pain when sneezing? when can i expeect this to improve

Accepted Answer

Normal: When you sneeze it causes a sudden sometimes almost violent motion.  This pulls at surgery sites and the healing tissues there.  You feel it as severe pain.  If you can feel it coming on, you can hug a pillow over the operative site to reinforce from the motion.  You can also wear a support such as an athletic supporter or abdominal binder.

Question 10

could sneezing cause an inguinal hernia?

Accepted Answer

No: Sneezing could cause an inguinal hernia, that was already there, to open up.
