<s>[INST] I am experiencing pain in the lower left abdominal region or just above the groin . Its not acute, but uncomfortable and can experience in certain sitting position or while walking. Its like on/off switch. Suddenly pains for a second and then disappears. Don t have any problems while eating / drinking etc. Nothing else seems abnormal. No fever , nausea etc. Nothing. [/INST] Hello! Thank you for the query. It sounds like you are suffering from inguinal hernia. This is a condition when abdominal cavity contents are getting out through inguinal canal. This is caused by weak tissues and can be treated with surgery. So if you sometimes can find a lump in your groin, the pain appears when coughing inguinal hernia is very probable. However, if this one will be ruled out, abdominal ultrasound should be performed with fool blood work and urine tests as such pain may be also caused by urinary tract infection, urinary stones, diverticulitis, left ovarian inflammation and many more. But first, you should visit a surgeon, so he can rule out inguinal hernia.  Inguinal hernia can be easily treated by surgery. However, when not treated may cause intestines obstruction, so it should not be neglected. Hope it will help. Regards </s>
