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
