What Causes Burning Sensation In Left Side Groin Near Penis?
I have a burning sensation in the left groin side near penis. Sometimes urination relieves the pain. Sometimes, in the past, sit ups have helped to cause this pain to disappear. It s not there all the time. Do you know what it is? And are there treatments you would suggest?

Hello,
With history, this burning sensation can be due to factors like urine infection or degenerative disc disease of the lumbar spine.
Having a urine sample test done will help to differentiate whether the burning sensation is due to urine infection or not.
Once this is clearer then we can look for MRI of the lumbar spine as due to compression of the bladder over the spinal column may lead to radiating pain and also the MRI will help reveal the soft tissue injury.
Once we get the MRI reports we can plan the exercise prescription for the same. Strengthening the core will be helpful in such cases.
I will not stress on urine infection more, as there is not much about the complaint of burning while passing urine. But the Stress I would make over the lumbar spine more here.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
