hi, my boyfriend is having severe pains in the groin area. it alleviates when he walks. there is no swelling or redness. He does not have any fever. It is mainly in the right side but he says it originates in the lower groin area and irradiates upward, staying in the right quadrant. i can see a possible hernia , appendicitis or possible stones. Would you have a better idea?
Hi friendWelcome to Chat Doctor Hernia can be seen or felt. Better on walking means less likelihood of Nerve or Muscle pain Absence of swelling and redness IA against local inflammation. Appendix pain starts in mid-line ad then localizes to right lower qua Chat Doctor. Stone is most likely but urinary symptoms will be there sooner or later.  A number of possibilities...!  Repeated examination / may be tests / and time will tell. Take tarnishing speedy recovery God bless Good luck
