HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The most common reason for recurrent swelling of the groin is a hernia in the area.
Hernias can also be painful and would not affect urination.
Treatment depends on the size , the impact of the urination and the presence of any complications.
In some persons monitoring is enough, others would require surgical repair
I hope this helps
