What We Assess

Common causes of a groin lump or pain

Ultrasound can help distinguish between several common groin conditions and guide the most appropriate next step.

Inguinal or Femoral Hernia

Dynamic assessment for a protrusion through the groin or femoral canal, including size and behaviour where visible.

Adductor Injury

Assessment of visible adductor muscles and tendons for strain, tear or localised fluid change.

Athletic Pubalgia

Ultrasound may contribute to assessment of sports-related groin pain, although MRI or specialist review may also be required.

Lymph Node Abnormality

Review of enlarged nodes for size, shape, internal structure and vascular pattern.

Soft-Tissue Lump

Assessment of visible cystic, fatty, inflammatory or other superficial soft-tissue abnormalities.

Vascular Concern

Assessment of relevant femoral vessels with Doppler when clinically appropriate; a dedicated vascular scan may be recommended.

Your Examination

A targeted, dynamic assessment of the groin region

Inguinal Canal

Dynamic assessment for an inguinal hernia during rest, cough or strain.

Femoral Region

Review for femoral hernia, lymph nodes and adjacent soft-tissue abnormalities.

Groin Lymph Nodes

Assessment of size, morphology and blood-flow features where relevant.

Adductors & Tendons

Evaluation of visible muscles and tendons associated with sports-related groin pain.

Soft Tissues

Assessment of superficial lumps, fluid collections and other visible abnormalities.

Femoral Vessels

Doppler evaluation where clinically indicated, with referral for a dedicated vascular study when needed.

Before Your Scan

How to prepare

Most patients do not need special preparation for a standard groin ultrasound.

1

Wear comfortable clothing

Choose clothing that allows easy access to the symptomatic groin while maintaining your comfort and dignity.

2

Identify the symptomatic area

Be ready to show exactly where the lump, pain, bruising or swelling is most noticeable.

3

Bring relevant information

Bring previous imaging, surgical information or specialist letters when available.

Seek urgent care for severe or rapidly worsening symptoms

Attend urgent care or A&E for a suddenly painful non-reducible groin lump, vomiting, abdominal swelling, fever, skin colour change, inability to pass stool or wind, severe leg swelling, or sudden severe testicular pain. These symptoms should not wait for a routine private scan.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

It can assess the inguinal and femoral regions for hernias, enlarged lymph nodes, soft-tissue lumps, muscle or tendon injury and relevant vascular structures where clinically indicated.
Yes. Dynamic ultrasound is commonly used to assess inguinal and femoral hernias. You may be asked to cough, strain, stand or change position so the area can be examined under pressure.
Ultrasound can assess visible adductor muscles, tendons, fluid collections and superficial soft tissues. Some deeper sports-groin conditions may require MRI, orthopaedic assessment or physiotherapy review.
Special preparation is not usually required. Wear comfortable clothing and follow any additional instructions supplied in your booking confirmation.
No. A groin scan assesses the inguinal and femoral areas. A testicular ultrasound is a separate examination of the testes, epididymides and scrotum and should be booked when symptoms are primarily scrotal.
Your report will describe the finding and may recommend GP review, surgical consultation, vascular assessment, physiotherapy, blood tests or further imaging such as MRI or CT.
