Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can

This may be just a pulled muscle or a tendon and I dont think this is concerning. But in some cases it may be a beginning of inguinal hernia or formed urinary stone so if it recurs, you should do ultrasound or mri scan to rule these out. Also, you should rest and avoid excessive physical activity till pain persist. Also, warm compresses can be applied.

I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
