If You Have Suffered A Groin Injury, Be Careful About Not Aggravating It
A little carelessness while recovering from a groin injury can aggravate the pain further. So, handle the injury with care and you will be fine soon.
Groin is the area between the abdomen and the upper thigh which is prone to injury caused by pull and muscle strain. Groin injury is caused by stress or muscle pull caused during sporting or other rigorous physical activities.
Groin injury causes pain and stiffness in the groin and inside the thigh area. Raising the knee or bringing the legs together can cause pain during such an injury.
Groin pain can be divided into three stages depending on the extent of severity. The first involves a mild pain, but little loss of strength in moving; the second is a moderate pain, which causes mild to moderate loss of strength and some tissue damage; and the final stage is the one that includes severe pain caused by a complete muscle tear.
Diagnoses of groin injury include X-ray and magnetic resonance imaging tests.
Treatment Of Groin Injury:
Though
a
groin
injury
heals
on
its
own;
if
one
takes
sufficient
rest
and
follows
the
steps
mentioned
below,
it
can
help
soothe
the
pain:
1.
Ice
compression
on
the
inner
thigh
to
reduce
pain
and
swelling.
Doing
it
for
20-30
minutes
every
few
hours
for
two
to
three
days
will
reduce
the
pain.
2.
Using
elastic
bandage
or
tape
3.
Going
for
anti-inflammatory
painkillers,
but
not
over
the
long
term
(as
they
can
have
side
effects),
can
also
help.
4.
Taking
help
from
a
medical
advisor
in
doing
stretching
and
strengthening
exercises.
5.
Finally,
going
for
a
surgery
as
the
last
resort.
Preventing Groin Injury:
•
Always
engage
in
a
warm-up
before
starting
a
physical
activity.
Do
light
jogging
to
raise
the
body
temperature,
so
that
you
don't
strain
your
muscles
by
starting
exercising
all
of
a
sudden.
•
Increase
the
intensity
of
your
physical
activity
gradually.
•
Focus
on
the
footwear
that
you
use.
It
should
support
you
properly.
•
Do
regular
exercises
of
the
thigh
muscles,
especially
if
you've
had
a
groin
pull
earlier.
Keeping
the
thigh
muscles
in
a
proper
condition
is
key.
•
Increase
your
overall
stamina
to
avoid
groin
pulls.
Seek
help
of
a
professional.
Recovering From Groin Injury:
Recovering from a groin pull depends on how serious the injury is. The time may vary from four to six weeks or even more. Avoid serious physical exercises that put pressure on the groin while you are in the recovery stage. For example, if you've had a groin injury while running, do swimming instead.
Don't overstretch yourself in times of a groin injury. If you do not give the injured side of your leg a careful look and try to match the flexibility of the uninjured one, the problem might get aggravated, delaying the healing process further. And a serious re-injury can even lead to disability.
