Dr. Li Mingchuan
Pain in males near the right lower abdomen close to the testicle is generally caused by varicocele or inguinal hernia. With varicocele, pain can be felt at the base of the testicle, and enlarged veins in the spermatic cord may be palpable, often accompanied by mild discomfort. In severe cases, it may lead to testicular swelling and scrotal enlargement. Indirect inguinal hernia is a common type of hernia that occurs in the groin area, where noticeable swelling and pain may appear after physical activity. It is recommended to undergo an ultrasound to rule out hernia.
