Cardiologist 's  Response
Hi
pain in the groin is very common after catheterisation, you can ask your cardiologist to prescribe you with non steroidal anti inflammatory medicines like diclofenac and seratiopeptidase for a few days.
if erection does not happen after 5 days of treatment also then pudendal nerve injury can be suspected , in that case test have to be done for investigating damage to pudendal nerve suppliying the penis.
thanks
