Some tests are necessary to determine the reason.

Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Lower left abdominal/groin area is where several issues can cause the pain. It can be urinary tract infection/stones, inguinal hernia, muscles tendons inflammation or even large intestine issues (diverticulitis can give such pain as well).

As you have had urinary tract pain, stone can be causing this or even infection.
Inguinal hernia usually gives a protrusion or lump in the pain area. The pain can be more intense when coughing or lifting heavy objects.

Muscle tendons inflammation is possible if you perform some physical activity regularly.

I suggest you to have some tests. Urine analysis, blood work and ultrasound should be done at first. You should also consider colonoscopy if it has not been done recently.

Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
