Sports Hernia Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
7. Pain With Involuntary Movement
Pain from a sports hernia may also get worse with certain involuntary movements. A cough or a sneeze causes involuntary contractions of some of the muscles in your body. As a result, these movements can cause an increase of the pain in your groin and lower abdomen if you have a sports hernia.
Unfortunately, there is little you can do to prevent this sort of pain when a sneeze or cough occurs. It is better to maintain proper hygiene protocols, such as frequent hand-washing, to prevent yourself from contracting a bacterial or viral infection that can cause these symptoms. If you have allergies, you may want to talk to your doctor or an allergy specialist to discuss methods of controlling your symptoms.
