Pain in the Groin: Symptoms, Causes, and Treatment

Groin pain is a common issue that can have several different causes. This article discusses the most common symptoms, causes, and treatment options for groin pain.

What Is Groin Pain?

Groin pain can be due to muscle strains, overexertion, or injuries. The pain often occurs during physical activity or sudden stress. Rest, stretching, and appropriate treatment can alleviate discomfort. If the pain persists, you should seek medical attention.

Symptoms of Groin Pain

Common symptoms include:

  • Sharp pain in the groin
  • Sore or dull ache in the groin area
  • Pain that worsens with movement or strain
  • Swelling or bulging in the groin
  • Pain radiating down the thigh or up towards the abdomen

If you experience groin pain that radiates down your leg, it may indicate nerve involvement. Symptoms can also include stiffness in the hip joint and groin, making it difficult to walk or stand for extended periods. Groin pain when lifting the leg is a common sign of muscle or tendon issues in the area, especially if the pain is felt on the inner thigh.

Causes of Groin Pain

Several factors can contribute to groin pain:

  • Overuse or strain of muscles and tendons
  • Groin hernia
  • Muscle strain or tear
  • Hip joint problems, such as osteoarthritis or labral tears
    • Nerve inflammation
  • Groin and back pain often occur together and may be due to issues in the lower back affecting nerves running through the groin area. Hip osteoarthritis is another common cause, especially among older individuals. Groin pain while running is most common among athletes and often results from overuse of the adductors (the muscles on the inner thigh) or a muscle tear. For children, groin pain can be caused by growth-related issues or inflammation.If you experience groin pain when walking, it could be a sign of weakened musculature or hip joint problems. Sudden pain may indicate an acute strain, while gradual development of discomfort over time is often related to wear and tear or chronic overuse.
