Ultrasound Of Right Groin Area Showed Nothing

I had an ultrasound and vaginal ultrasound looking for a mass in my right lower groin and abdominal area that was detected by two doctors and myself as I have very severe pain that makes my right leg give out. Neither of the ultrasounds showed anything. How can this be?

Second request: I had no images from the above captioned ultra sounds. Technician said there were no readings. While having each procedure locating a mass in my pelvic area and right groin area it was very painful, but no images resulted. You can feel whatever is there. How come no images? After the tests, I had severe pain in the area where the technician was testing. Why no images?

Hello LauraG,

This is an interesting question. Usually an ultrasound can detect all soft tissues as well as blockages in the body, which is why they use it to look for abnormalities. The only thing that comes to mind is that the thing is not a soft tissue or that the first two doctors were wrong. It's also worth noting that ultrasounds can be rather tricky because sometimes the images show a tissue in front of a different tissue which could be why they don't see anything.

I'm sorry to hear that it hasn't been resolved and my suggestion is that you get a second ultrasound at a different location for a second opinion. If it's causing you this much pain it's definitely worth looking further into it.
