Can Hemorrhoids Cause Groin Pain in Men? The Connection
Share
Groin pain alongside hemorrhoids can leave men wondering if the two are linked. Hemorrhoids do not typically cause groin pain directly, but their location can make the surrounding area feel uncomfortable. Here is the connection.
Why It Can Feel Related
The anus, rectum, and groin are close together and share nerve pathways. Significant hemorrhoid swelling and inflammation can create a general ache or pressure that seems to radiate toward the groin, even though the hemorrhoid is not the true source.
Other Causes to Rule Out
- An inguinal hernia
- Prostatitis or epididymitis
- A muscle strain or pelvic floor tension
Because groin pain has its own important causes, it is worth evaluating on its own.
When to See a Doctor
See a provider for persistent or severe groin pain, a lump, swelling, or fever, which need their own assessment.
