What Causes Sharp Pain In The Groin Area After Kidney Infection Treatment?

I have dull aching pain in the middle if my back on my left side that every now and than turns into a sharp stabbing pain down into my groin. I currently am on antibiotics for a kidney infection but am now on my fifth day and the pain seems to be getting worse. I get kidney infections almost every month and have been tested for kidney stones but it has come back with nothing. What is wrong with me?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,

It is possible that the sharp pain in your groin area after kidney infection is one of the symptoms. Other symptoms include fever with chills, lower back pain, lower abdominal pain radiating to groin, burning or pain while passing urine, nausea and vomiting.

If you are getting groin pain even after using antibiotics for infection, other possible causes like kidney stones, urinary bladder infection or urethra or ureter obstruction must be ruled out. As you also had kidney stones, this also could be one of the reasons for groin pain. For this, drink plenty of water, take adequate rest, and avoid calcium rich foods.

If the symptoms are not relieved even after full course of antibiotics, you must consult your doctor for further work up and to rule out other possibilities as mentioned above.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Thanks.
