Groin pain is a type of pain that occurs in the area where the abdomen meets the legs. It may be acute (short-term) or chronic (long-term). There are many possible causes of groin pain, including muscle strains, hernias, hip or pelvic fractures, and other conditions.

Muscle strains are a common cause of groin pain, often resulting from activities that involve twisting, turning, or sudden movements. Hernias occur when an internal organ, such as the intestine, protrudes through a weak spot in the abdominal wall, causing pain and discomfort, could also be a cause of persistent groin pain.

Hip or pelvic fractures can also cause groin pain, as can other conditions such as infections or tumors. Depending on the underlying cause of the groin pain, treatment may vary.

If you are experiencing groin pain, it is important to seek medical attention to determine the underlying cause and develop an appropriate treatment plan. Clinical assessment from our team and appropriate imaging (MRI, CT or X-rays) will help to identify the cause of your pain.
