What Causes Groin Pain While Coughing?
Question: when i cough there is some pain in my groin
Brief Answer:
It can be a sign of inguinal hernia.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Such symptom can be caused by inguinal hernia. Please put your hand in the groin and try to cough couple of times (while standing). You may feel kind of protrusion in the painful area.
I suggest you to consult general surgeon with this problem. Physical examination and ultrasound should diagnose the hernia.
Once it is confirmed, surgery is the only solution.
Hope this helps. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
