what causes a swollen pubic area?
Not only can this be worrisome to any man experiencing abnormal swelling or pain, but depending on the extent of the pain and symptoms, it could be reason to see your doctor. The most common cause for pain or swelling in the groin â the area between the abdomen and thigh â is a hernia. This type of hernia is more specifically called an inguinal hernia, and it occurs when part of the small intestine bulges through a weak area in the lower abdominal muscles.
