Male groin pain

There are many causes of groin pain in men. It may be caused by lymph node inflammation and hernia, or it may be caused by musculoskeletal diseases and varicocele. Therefore, when encountering groin pain, male friends should pay attention to the hygiene of the groin. Antibiotics should also be used to treat the symptoms of inflammation. Severe cases require timely medical examination.

1. Inguinal lymphadenitis:

Mainly caused by infection or inflammation of the lymphatic system of the lower limbs, local pain in the groin area is caused, but local swollen lymph nodes can be touched on their own, and there is tenderness. Some may be combined with edema of the lower limbs. B-ultrasound and routine blood tests can generally make the diagnosis. The main treatment method is antibiotics.

2. Inguinal hernia:

After an inguinal hernia occurs, there may be local traction pain and the formation of a local soft mass, which is obvious when standing and disappears after lying down. Local physical examination and B-ultrasound can also be used for diagnosis, and surgical treatment is mainly required.

3. Varicocele:

It may manifest as a falling and distending pain in the scrotum, a pulling pain in the groin, but it usually gets better after lying down, and local thickening and tenderness of the spermatic cord. Frequent attacks require surgical treatment, and a urology department should be consulted for specific circumstances.

4. Bone and muscle diseases:

Local muscle strains, ligament strains, and nerve injuries can cause local pain all year round, which can be improved with Yunnan Baiyao and topical application of Voltaren.

5. Intervertebral disc herniation, piriformis syndrome:

It can also cause pain in the waist and lower limbs, which can radiate to the groin area.

Among these five major causes, only varicocele is closely related to men, so when men feel groin pain, they must not be careless to avoid aggravating the condition. You should go to Ningbo New Oriental Men's Hospital as soon as possible to find out the symptoms and treat them as soon as possible.
