What causes pain just above the genital area?
Patient: For the last 4 months I have had a pain just above the genital area... It started after a football game so didnt think too much of it at the time (I'm 42 so get a few pains after games) .. This pain is quite intense when I cough so thought it might be a hernia but do but see any inflamation Doctor: Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.  I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.  Pain above genital area may be due to rectus abdominus muscle pain or spasm or it may be perineal pain syndrome or it may be urethritis or UTI etc. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Please get ultrasound abdomen and urine examination is done and get treated accordingly.  Hope I have answered your query.  Let me know if I can assist you further.
