When it comes to injuries, there are several different levels or grades which a medical professional will base the prescription, treatment, and rehabilitation program(s). The signs and symptoms of each grade will vary from mild to serious pain, discomfort, and other unpleasant conditions. Basically, this is a classification process where the injury is graded on how bad they are and what their signs and symptoms are. Regardless of what grade your groin strain is, immediate medical care should be advised and given by your doctor to prevent further injuries and damages to the already torn adductor muscle tissue(s).

As mentioned above, each grade varies in term of signs and symptoms which are the common tell tale of an injury. Although the degree of pain and discomfort would vary, they all share the same difficulty when one of the adductor muscle tissues is damaged. This article will tackle on the different grades of a groin strain and how they are all treated with the commonly used methods. Here are the common signs and symptoms that you can expect with each grade of a groin strain. Knowing the grade will allow you to prevent further damages to the groin muscles.

Grade 1
