Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, you should definitely consult doctor and get done clinical examination of thighs and groin area.
Sudden onset of groin pain is commonly seen with torsion of testes. You are having increasing pain with tenderness on touching, so you should definitely consult doctor and get done clinical examination of lower abdomen, groin and ultrasound examination of abdomen and scrotum to rule out
1. Torsion of testes
2. Stone in urinary system.
3. Infection.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
