Athletes involved in sports with intense physical activity are more susceptible to pubalgia. Contributing factors include repetitive stress, muscle imbalances, inadequate warm-up, and previous injuries. Symptoms include sharp or aching pain in the groin, tenderness around the pubic bone, and difficulty in certain movements. Treatment options range from rest and physical therapy to injections or surgery, depending on the severity. Early diagnosis and a comprehensive treatment plan are crucial for recovery. Recovery time can vary from a few weeks to several months. Pubalgia can affect non-athletes as well, and exercises such as core strengthening and proper stretching can help prevent it. Untreated pubalgia can lead to chronic pain and reduced physical performance.
