Is a Hip Labrum year causing my pain?
So I noticed sharp groin pain during ejaculation that Goes away right after. However, this pain as morphed into a dull ache through the day. Still extremely sharp during ejaculation and holding in urine. My GP ordered an MRI that showed “an extensive anterosuperior labrum tear”. I saw an orthopedic surgeon who didn’t think my symptoms matched a labrum tear but probably sports hernia. I had another MRI that showed I did not have sports hernia. I also had a scrotum ultrasound that showed nothing wrong with testicles.
My question is, can a hip labrum tear cause sharp pain when the muscles are firing for ejaculation? My ortho didn’t think so but after the clean sports hernia mri we are discussing possible labrum surgery.

If you had an MRI that showed an extensive tear, I would probably not doubt that. I'm not sure why the second MRI did have the same conclusion but would think this is your situation. X rays and MRI's usually pick this up. Before they open you up though, I'd try nsaids to reduce inflammation and perhaps start working with a physical therapist to see if it helps. You were told the tear is extensive though which makes surgery more of choice. Are you worried your GP got it wrong? Can your ortho look at the scans the GP looked at?

Yes, the Ortho looked at the same scans. When the Ortho did a physical exam he didn’t think the labrum was the issue (he did acknowledge it is present). He order a more centric Pelvic MRI for a sports hernia that wouldn’t pick up labrum tear. I think my Ortho is concerned the labrum isn’t the problem since my symptoms aren’t necessarily common for torn labrum. He said I would be first patient in his career that complained about ejaculation groin pain due to torn labrum. Thanks for your thoughts.
Well, the ortho is the one that would be more inclined to have the experience. What other reasons could this be going on? Would a urologist help you uncover this at all or is that way off base. I don't know. I'd work on the labrum issues through less invasive means to see if it improves.
