Groin Pain Causes


Pain in the groin can be caused from a number of different things such as a hernia, enlarged lymph nodes, kidney stones, and others.1 Pain can range from mild to severe.1 A doctor should be consulted immediately if symptoms of groin pain include persistent and unexplained groin pain, a burning sensation or pain affecting one testicle for more than three hours.1

Fast Facts:

  • Other causes of groin pain include exposure to sexually transmitted diseases, urinary problems, or lower abdominal pain.2
  • Any bumps or rashes on the groin area should be seen by a doctor.2
  • The doctor may ask about recent groin injury, rashes or lumps in the groin area.2
