GROIN PAIN
You
may
have
had
a
minor
groin
problem
at
one
time
or
another.
Most
of
the
time,
our
body
movements
do
not
cause
problems. It's not surprising that symptoms may develop from everyday wear and tear, overuse, or an injury.
The
groin
areas
are
located
on
each
side
of
the
body
in
the
folds
where
the
abdomen
joins
the
legs.
The
pubic
area
lies
between the two groin areas.
Groin injuries most commonly occur during:
•
Sports or recreational activities, such as ice hockey, cross-country skiing, basketball, and soccer.
•
Work-related activities.
•
Work or projects around the home.
An acute injury may occur from a direct blow, a fall, or from the leg turned in an abnormal position.
Overuse
injuries
occur
when
too
much
stress
is
placed
on
an
area.
This
often
happens
when
you
overdo
an
activity
or
repeat
the same activity day after day. Overuse can lead to muscle strains or tears or may cause swelling, such as bursitis.
Groin
pain
not
caused
by
an
injury
may
be
coming
from
other
parts
of
the
body
i.e.
radiating,
or
referred,
pain.
Pulled
muscles,
ligaments,
or
tendons
in
the
leg
may
cause
symptoms
in
the
groin.
It
is
important
to
look
for
other
causes
of
groin
pain when you have not had an injury.
An
inguinal
hernia
is
a
bulge
of
soft
tissue
through
a
weak
spot
in
the
abdominal
wall
in
the
groin
area.
An
inguinal
hernia
may
need surgical treatment. A sports hernia may affect the same area of the groin in competitive athletes.
