A groin pulled bruise can be very painful. It can also have many symptoms. Here are some things to look for and what you should do if you suspect you may have it. If you're unsure whether you have one, you should talk to your doctor.
The symptoms
For immediate treatment, consult a doctor if you have any symptoms of a pulled groin. The goal of treatment should be to reduce swelling, ease pain and promote healing. As directed, you can also apply an ice pack or heating pad to the affected area. Be sure to use a towel between the ice pack and your skin. The recovery process is not complete without rest. Supportive clothing is also recommended to reduce swelling.
The groin is an important part of the pelvic region, and injuries there can be acute or chronic. A hernia or other serious injury to the groin can cause severe problems. Symptoms of a hernia can include ongoing groin pain, swelling of the scrotum, and blood in the urine.
Treatment
If you think you have a groin pull bruise, you should visit a physical therapist for treatment. They are trained to treat sports injuries. An online directory can help you find a PT or a referral from a physician or other health care provider. You should be able to explain your symptoms clearly so that the therapist can offer you the best treatment plan.
Within the first 48 hours of a bruised groin, it is best to be as still as possible. The injury will heal well only if you get rest. Try not to move your leg too much, and use crutches if you can. Ice can also be used to reduce swelling. You can also use a thin cloth to cover the affected area if ice is not available.
Diagnosis
When treating a groin pull, the initial treatment involves applying heat to the affected area to relieve pain and swelling. You should also rest the area to prevent it from worsening. Your doctor might recommend that you use crutches. The majority of groin pulls will heal naturally, but severe cases may need to be treated with surgery. A grade three strain, for example, may require repair of a torn tendon or fiber. The type of muscle or ligament that is being torn will determine the surgical procedure.
A doctor may perform imaging to determine the extent of the injury. MRIs can also help confirm the diagnosis of a groin pull.
Time to recover
The recovery time for a bruised groin depends on the severity of the injury. The first stage of recovery requires a week or so of rest. During this period, it is best to rest and avoid any activities that could cause further strain to the injured area. After this time, gradually return to your normal activities. This will avoid recurring groin pulling injuries.
Ice packs can be used to relieve pain and swelling. Apply an ice pack to the affected area 3-4 times per day. You can also use an elastic wrap for support and to reduce swelling. To prevent swelling, elevate your leg. Take pain medication such as acetaminophen and ibuprofen if the pain continues or gets worse.

What is the difference between parachuting and parasailing?
Para-gliding involves using a harness that is attached to a small sailing sail to fly above the earth. This harness allows you fly. It keeps you safe when you're falling through the air.
You don't need any equipment to fly. Simply attach your body to the sail. Then you go off. As you ascend, the wind pushes against your sail. This makes it lift you.
You continue moving forward as you glide along the ground. Your momentum carries you forward until you reach the end of the cable. You let go of the cable and you return to earth.
Reattach your sails when you're ready for a new start.
