Stretching and strengthening the muscles, ligaments and tendons around the groin can help prevent injury.

To treat, consult your doctor. If detected immediately after it occurs, the strain should be treated by intermittent ice, pressure and rest for 48 to 72 hours. A thigh sleeve or support is good for compression around the thigh. An elastic bandage can be used to support the groin. Ointments can be applied to soothe muscle pain. For moderate or severe strains, use crutches for 3 days. Gradually resume your normal activities.

For any serious injury, consult your doctor.
