Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs)
Men may experience groin pain that stems from STIs like chlamydia [2] or gonorrhea [3]. However, these illnesses frequently start out asymptomatic, and it may take weeks or months before symptoms like pain, itching, or penile secretions become apparent.
The only way to know that you have an STI is by getting tested. Lack of symptoms does not necessarily indicate negativity. In order to avoid problems like chronic pelvic pain, an early diagnosis is essential.
Both chlamydia and gonorrhea are bacterial illnesses for which doctors may advise taking one or more medications. You and your partner should also receive medication to stop reinfection.
