A Lump in My Groin Led to a Stage 4 Melanoma Diagnosis When I Was Just 22 My doctors checked my entire body for suspicious-looking moles and spots, but I had none.

The groin is located where the upper part of the thighs meets the lowest parts of the abdomen, on either side of the pubic bone. Many medical conditions can cause pain in this area in women.

Groin pain that occurs on the left side in women is often caused by things like injury, UTI, and kidney stones, but it could be due to another less common condition.
