3. Epididymitis
Epididymitis occurs when the tube that stores sperm becomes swollen or inflamed. It is usually caused by an infection and requires antibiotics for treatment.
In addition to groin pain, people who suffer from epididymitis may also experience pain and swelling on one side of the scrotum or in both testicles. Other symptoms include pain while urinating, fever, and a milky discharge from the penis.
Many people experience severe pain in the groin as a result of the infection. The antibiotics normally take a day or two to start working, but once they are in the system, the groin pain usually goes away pretty quickly.
This is one of the most common causes of groin pain and is easy to treat if left the infection can spread to other areas of the body, and the pain may become more severe. Doctors can also prescribe pain medication to help ease the pain until the antibiotics start working.
