<bot>: Hi. Thanks for your query. Read your history and understood the problems you are facing. The commonest reasons for the symptoms of pain / pressure in lower abdomen, groin and burning in urethra for 2 weeks are related to urinary tract. Urinary tract infection with swelling of the internal structures like urethra, urinary bladder can give rise to all the symptoms you have including the pressure you are feeling. I would advise you the following:::First send the urine for culture and sensitivity before you start any antibiotics. This is very important because you will get a proper report. Also send the blood for routine and sugar, urea and creatinine tests. Get one ultrasonography done to make sure the thickness of the urinary bladder. Any post-voice residue of urine after it is emptied, any stones or anatomical variation like diverticula or so on, Kidney and ureters. Once the tests are done. Get a treatment with an antibiotic to start with and to change over once the report of culture sensitivity report is ready. Get additional symptomatic treatment and you will be fine
