Pain when I sneeze

Hello everyone,

For about 6 months now, I experience a sharp pain in my groin. In particular, beneath my testicles but not quite to the anus. I did not bother seeing a doctor, in hopes it would go away on its own. Well, it didn't. So, I saw a urologist a few weeks ago. He did not see anything wrong. But to be safe, he ordered an ultrasound of my scotum, which came back negative. He said it could be the beginning of a hernia and that there was nothing he could currently do.

What do you think? Surely I do not want to continue having this awful pain when I sneeze. I thank you for your time.

Hi Vanessa,

No, I really don't have any kind of a mass anywhere. And I also do not have any pain during urination nor has there been a change in bowel movement.

Hi,

Have you sought consult with an internist? A physical examination including a rectal examination may be able to determine if the focus involves the groin only.At this point there seems to be no direct involvement of the genitalia and accessory organs. You may discuss with your internist possible involvement of abdominal structures.

Any palpable mass in the lower abdomen during straining?

Any pain in urination or change in bowel movement?

Do keep us posted.
