Diagnosis is usually a complex process due to the sheer number of possible causes and related symptoms. In order to diagnose internal groin discomfort, we could:

Research the topic
Find a doctor with the time
Use a diagnostic computer system.

The process is the same, whichever method is used.

Step 1: List all Possible Causes

We begin by identifying the disease conditions which have "internal groin discomfort" as a symptom. Here are three possibilities:

Kidney Stones
Urinary Tract Infection
Interstitial Cystitis

Step 2: Build a Symptom Checklist

We then identify all possible symptoms and risk factors of each possible cause, and check the ones that apply:

blood in urine

painful urination

calcium supplementation

discontinued low-carb diet

strong-smelling urine

chronic night sweats

feeling false urges to urinate

unexplained high fevers

much vitamin D supplementation

slight abdominal distension

significant left lumbar pain

major fatigue for over 12 months

... and more than 10 others

Step 3: Rule Out or Confirm each Possible Cause

A differential diagnosis of your symptoms and risk factors finds the likely cause of internal groin discomfort:

Cause	Probability	Status
Urinary Tract Infection	92%	Confirm
Interstitial Cystitis	26%	Unlikely
Kidney Stones	2%	Ruled out

* This is a simple example to illustrate the process
