Many Causes: Groin pain can be due to serious infections, inflammation, trauma, malignancy (cancer), and other abnormal processes. Because groin pain can be a symptom of a serious or life-threatening condition, you should seek prompt medical care and talk with your medical professional about your symptoms.

Depends-Need More: It would depend on associated factors. If you are very active, it could be a muscle strain. If there are lumps/bumps in the area, it could be lymph nodes associated with infection. Pain could be referred from reproductive organs, back, or hip. Timing of the pain could indicate a possible cause. There is just not enough information.

UTI must be excluded: Tell him that he may have a UTI or a std which can affect his prostate + his epididymis/testis. This can lead to long-term problems. Also that you are concerned that it is something that you might catch and thus will refuse sex until he gets checked out. Good luck.

Hard to say: If the disruption of the pubic symphasis remains unstable the pain will likely persist. Alot depends on how it happened (trauma vs child birth).

Hip or hernia: The most common conditions would be a hernia, soft tissue injury around the hip, or a problem in the hip itself such as a labral tear or femoroacetabular impingement. See a specialist for diagnosis.

Pulse = blood flow: A noticeable pulsing sensation in the area of the groin causing pain that worsens with flexion (increased compression to region) could be a sign of underlying vascular problem. Urgent evaluation by your primary care physician is warranted
