Groin pullbruises can be extremely painful and can cause a wide range of symptoms. This guide will show you what to look out for and what to do if it does appear. If you're not sure if it is present, talk to your doctor.
The symptoms
For immediate treatment, consult a doctor if you have any symptoms of a pulled groin. The primary goal of treatment is to reduce swelling, relieve pain, and facilitate healing. The injured area should also be treated with an icepack and a heating pad as directed. Between the ice pack's skin and the towel, be sure to cover it with a towel. Rest is another important factor in the recovery process. Supportive clothing is also recommended to reduce swelling.
The groin is an important part of the pelvic region, and injuries there can be acute or chronic. A hernia or other serious injury to the groin can cause severe problems. A hernia may present as persistent groin pain, swelling, bloody urine, or even swelling of the scrotum.
Treatment
You should see a physical therapist if you believe you have a pulled groin. They are trained to treat sports injuries. You can search the Internet for a PT, or get a referral from a doctor. Your symptoms should be described in detail to ensure the therapist is able to give you the best treatment plan.
In the first 48 hours after a groin pull bruise, you should stay as still as possible. It is important to rest in order for the injury's healing process to be successful. Don't move your leg and use crutches as much as possible. To reduce swelling, you can use ice. If ice is not possible, use a thin cloth to cover the area.
Diagnosis
The first treatment for a groin pull is to apply heat to the area to alleviate pain and swelling. You should also rest the area to prevent it from worsening. Your doctor might recommend that you use crutches. Although groin pulls usually heal themselves, more severe cases may need surgery. For example, a grade three strain may need to be repaired with a tendon or fiber. The severity of the injury will dictate how it is performed.
To determine the extent of an injury, a doctor might perform imaging. MRIs are also useful in confirming the diagnosis of a groin pull.
Recovery time
The recovery time for a groin pull bruise varies according to the severity of the injury. A week of rest is required for the first stage. You should refrain from any activity that places additional strain on your injured area. Gradually return to your regular activities after this time. This will stop recurring groin pulls.
Ice packs can help relieve swelling and pain. Use an ice pack on the affected area for three to four days. Make sure it is properly applied. An elastic wrap can be used to reduce swelling and support your groin. Elevating the leg will help prevent more swelling. Take pain medication such as acetaminophen and ibuprofen if the pain continues or gets worse.
