Question
There is a subtle pain at the junction of the right groin and thigh, the pain is mild, not easily noticeable during the day while working, but feels slight pain during rest at night. It does not affect daily life and is not caused by a hernia. What could be the cause of this groin discomfort?
Answer
The possible causes of pain in the groin area are usually due to muscle strain in the groin region. The groin area includes the inguinal ligament, and when the body engages in vigorous activities or lifts heavy objects, the inguinal ligament and other structures may be subjected to greater pressure, potentially causing muscle strain or injury, leading to pain. Treatment-wise, patients often need to rest and use topical medications that promote blood circulation and relieve pain for symptomatic treatment.
