Many causes: There are many causes of groin pain, some of which may be in the expertise of a urologist, but some may not. The best place to start may be your internist who can examine you, and determine (or narrow down) the cause and refer you to the right specialist if necessary.

Broad differential: Groin pain has a broad differential diagnosis from musculoskeletal issues surgical issues like hernias to referred pain from your low back to articular problems with your hip. You need to see an internist or PCP to be evaluated and examined especially if pain in not improving.
