Groin Pain Causes
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
9. Hernia
A hernia is a relatively common condition that can occur in numerous places in the body, including in the groin area. Our organs, muscles, and other tissues tend to be encased in other tissues that help to keep them safe, and keep them in place.
A hernia means that this organ or tissue has broken through this natural barrier, causing it to protrude outward. A number of hernia types can occur in the groin region and, when they do, they can be quite painful for the patient. In many cases, the patient will feel little to no pain but they should still get it checked out. Surgery is often necessary to repair the hernia.
