What Causes Intermittent Stabbing Pain In The Groin Area?

I am having intense, shooting pain in my groin area. I can t tell if it is in my right groin or in my right ball sack. It is very sporadic and relatively infrequent. the pain is intense, like a stabbing pain. it doesn t last long. I can t point to a pattern. it s been occurring for several years at odd times and sometimes when I am in bed at night lying prone. I am a 60 year old male. Do these symptoms point to anything in particular?

Hi,

It might be due to urethral stones. You can get an ultrasound scan for to look for any possible urethra stones. If symptoms persist, you can consult a urologist and get evaluated.

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