The groin is the area between the abdomen and thigh. Groin pain can occur due to conditions of the lower abdomen, inguinal region, proximal adductors, hip joint, upper anterior thigh, and perineum.
A groin strain is an injury to your groin muscles, which connect your thighs to your lower abdomen. This injury occurs when the muscle fibers are pulled or torn, causing pain and impacting mobility.
