What Do Occasional Pain In The Groin Area Suggest?
Question: I have occasionally aches in my groin. They often don't last long but at times can be very sharp. I have also noticed some discomfort in left testicle. Not so much the testicle itself but some type of tissue above it. When I feel the testicles there are two pea sized knots on the top of each one that are connected to a string of tissue. It is that tissue that can be very sensitive at times. When I notice the testicle aching and feel around..this is where the pain is coming from. Again, it does not last long but is very uncomfortable. I am concerned about this and was wondering what this could be.
