groin

Examples of groin in the following topics:

• Pulled Groin

  • A pulled groin muscle usually refers to a painful injury sustained by straining the hip adductor muscles.
  • These groin muscles adduct the thigh (bring the femur and knee closer to the midline).
  • The groin is innervated by the obturator nerve, with two exceptions.
  • Groin pulls are a common sports injury, especially in ice hockey and soccer.
  • Signs of a severe groin pull include pain while sitting or at rest and difficulty walking.

• Fungal Skin and Nail Diseases

  • Tinea cruris, also known as crotch itch, crotch rot, Dhobie itch, eczema marginatum, gym itch, jock itch, jock rot, and ringworm of the groin is a dermatophyte fungal infection of the groin region in any sex, though more often seen in males.
  • As the common name for this condition implies, it causes itching or a burning sensation in the groin area, thigh skin folds, or anus.
  • Medical professionals suggest keeping the groin area clean and dry by drying off thoroughly after bathing and putting on dry clothing right away after swimming or perspiring.

• Renal Calculi

  • This leads to pain, most commonly felt in the flank (the area between the ribs and hip), lower abdomen, and groin (a condition called renal colic).
  • Renal colic typically comes in waves lasting 20 to 60 minutes, beginning in the flank or lower back, and often radiating to the groin or genitals.

• Veins of the Lower Limbs

  • The femoral vein merges with the great saphenous vein in the groin to form the external iliac vein.

• Roman Architecture under the Republic

  • When two barrel vaults intersect at right angles, they create a groin vault.
  • Furthermore, because of the direction, the thrust is concentrated along this x-shape, so only the corners of a groin vault need to be grounded.
  • This allows an architect or engineer to manipulate the space below the groin vault in a variety of ways.

• Genital Ulcer Diseases

  • Other than ulceration, enlarged lymph nodes in the groin area can be present, along with blisters and sores.

• Italian Architecture 1200-1400

  • The interior of the Cathedral, including the groin vaults and pointed arches, demonstrates the Gothic elements of its architecture quite clearly.

• Structure of the Lymphatic System

  • Lymph nodes are found primarily in the armpits, groin, chest, neck, and abdomen.

• Burkitt's Lymphoma

  • Burkitt lymphoma may first be noticed as a swelling of the lymph nodes (glands) in the neck, groin, or under the arm.

• Prostatitis

  • Acute prostatitis is relatively easy to diagnose because it presents the general infection symptoms which may include: fever, chills, groin and lower back pain, issues during urination, and general body aches.
