10 Pulled Groin Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #4: Warmth
In a pulled groin, the affected area may feel warmer compared to other parts of the body due to increased blood flow to the injured site. An injury results in the release of histamine and bradykinin. This causes the dilation of blood vessels, allowing more blood to flow to the damaged tissue.
The increased blood flow to the affected region helps reduce further damage and starts the healing process. This can be attributed to more immune systems that are being carried to the injured region. Warmth is one of the cardinal signs of inflammation. Other associated symptoms include pain, redness, swelling, and loss of function.
