What Causes Pain In The Groin Area?

I am a 73 year old man in very good health according to my GP. I went to a movie a few weeks ago, and had a soft drink during the movie which lasted approximately 2 hours. Had to urinate and held it in until the end of the movie. Since this episode, I feel a very slight strain in my right groin. In addition, have felt the need to urinate somewhat more frequently. Is there a cause and effect here? Also maturbate once or twice per day. Could that have an effect? Incidentally, my prostate is not enlarged and my PSA scores are always very low. Look forward to your answers, and will greatly appreciate your response. Regards/ Thanks..... Lew

Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can
Well, this suggests possible hernia nad you should do ultrasound to ruke this out.Hernia surgery for recurrent hernia may be bit more challenging for surgeon but still this is a routine surgery and there should not be problems about it. Also, it would be good to have it done laparoscopically if this is available in your institution since for recurrent hernia, laparosopic surgery is the most optimal option since it is less invasive. Also, you should take into account that hernia may become incarcerated in future so it is better to manage it as soon as possible.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
