Pain in the left groin radiating to the testicle in males can be caused by lymphadenitis, spermatic cord pain, and other conditions. The inguinal region contains the highest concentration of lymph nodes; when inflammation occurs, it may lead to lymphadenitis, primarily manifesting in this area. Swollen lymph nodes can be felt under the skin as movable lumps. Pain in the spermatic cord can cause discomfort along its path; if the spermatic cord is injured, it may result in a dragging pain in the testicle. Patients should seek medical evaluation at a general surgery or urology clinic.
