Pain in the Groin: Symptoms, Causes, and Treatment

Groin pain is a common problem that can have several different causes, such as groin pain or groin strain. This article reviews the most common symptoms, causes, and treatment options for groin pain.
What is groin pain?
Groin pain can be caused by muscle tension, groin strain or injury. The pain, often experienced as stabbing pain in the right groin or left side, often occurs with physical activity or sudden strain. Rest, stretching and the right treatment can relieve the discomfort. If groin pain persists, you should seek medical attention. In some cases, it can also be linked to muscle strain in the back that affects movement patterns.
Symptoms of groin pain
Common symptoms include:
- Stabbing pain in the groin
- Tender or aching pain in the groin area
- Pain that worsens with movement or strain
- Swelling or bulge in the groin
- Pain that radiates down the thigh or up towards the abdomen
When you have groin pain that radiates down your leg, it may indicate that your nerves are affected. Similar symptoms can also be seen with nerve pain in your back , especially if the pain feels like a radiating pain. Stretching your groin can cause stabbing pain in your right groin, while a swollen groin often indicates inflammation.
Causes of groin pain
Several factors can contribute to groin pain:
- Overuse or overexertion of muscles and tendons
- Inguinal hernia
- Muscle strain or rupture
- Hip joint problems, such as osteoarthritis or labrum injuries
- Swollen lymph nodes
- Nerve inflammation
Groin and back pain often occur together and can be due to problems in the lower back, such as low back pain , which affects the nerves that run through the groin area.
