How Dellon Institutes Can Help Solve Groin Pain

Oct. 7, 2011 - PRLog -- The most common type of groin pain treated at the Dellon Institutes is a result of operations such as hernia repair, Caesarian-section, hysterectomy, or laparoscopic procedures. These operations can injure one of four nerves in the region of the groin that transmit the groin pain message to the brain.
Groin pain is any discomfort in the groin area. The groin area is where your abdomen ends and your legs begin. Pain is usually a sign of inflammation, disease, or direct injury to a particular area of the groin.  Depending on the cause, groin pain can begin suddenly and disappear quickly, such as from a pinched nerve associated with a minor injury. Groin pain that develops over time and occurs along with additional symptoms may be a sign of a more serious condition, such as a sexually transmitted disease (STD), inguinal hernia, or testicular cancer.

Dellon Institutes offers a few treatments to try without surgery including altering your activities so that you don’t sit with your hips flexed; sit with the leg on the painful side slightly forward.  Avoid doing sit-up type exercises or sports that require twisting of the torso, such as golf.  Before coming to the Dellon Institutes, be sure your own doctor has evaluated you to identify problems not related to a nerve that may require treatment, such as a recurrent hernia, or tumor in the testicle. Also prior to coming to the Dellon Institute, you should ask your doctor to try certain neuropathic pain medication. Then, when
your groin or thigh pain symptoms are unrelieved by the above medical treatments, or no one has found the cause of your groin pain symptoms, a peripheral nerve cause should be considered.
