Urinary tract stones may cause groin pain. These stones form when excessive uric acid levels in the body lead to the formation of crystals that block the urinary tract, resulting in difficulty urinating and severe pain during urination. In severe cases, it is necessary to go to the hospital for diagnosis and receive treatment under a doctor's guidance. Additionally, preventive measures should be taken in daily life, such as avoiding spicy foods, as they may worsen the condition.
