Take it easy for a while, then after the pain has diminished start with some gentle range of motion exercises. After the pain is gone (typically a week to 10 days) do light stretching but not to the point where it hurts. Then slowly build the muscles and work up to exercising at the level you want to attain.
Groin injuries can be classified into two categories; blunt or penetrating. If you are unsure of the location of the groin, click on the link provided below. Injuries to the groin are often very painful specially in male patients. In all instances, the main priority is to maximise comfort and to treat any injuries that are or may become life threatening, which may include severe leeding. Blunt and penetrating injuries have slightly different treatment methods.
Blunt Groin Injury
A blunt groin injury is where no skin or tissue is teared. It is said to be blunt as it is more likely a blunt object caused the injury. Injuries like this include a kick to the groin area, a fall landing onto the groin or an underlying medical condition.
The treatment for a blunt groin trauma is outlined below:
1. Ensure that you are safe from any dangers before approaching the scene.
2. Make patient as comfortable as possible.
3. Ask the patient what happened (history of injury) and note this to the emergency service where applicable.
4. If the patient permits you to, expose the groin area so you can get a view of the injury and decide treatment plans accordingly.
5. If bruising is present, apply an ice pack or cold compress to relieve swelling.
6. Continuously reassure patient.
7. Call an ambulance if injury appears severe.
8. Monitor vital signs and record these.
Penetrating Groin Injury
A penetrating groin trauma can generally be considered more severe than a blunt one. The main symptom of a penetrating injury is that bleeding and injured tissue will be present.
I have outlined a summary of the treatment plan here:
1. Ensure scene is safe from any dangers.
2. Note history of injury and reassure patient.
3. Control any visible bleeding by exposing the injury and applying a clean dressing pad.
4. Call an ambulance and convey all information obtained.
5. Apply more dressings should bleed seep out of the first dressing.
