Pubic muscle strain refers to an injury of the pubic muscles or the tendons and ligaments attached to them. Common symptoms include lower abdominal pain, difficulty walking, and local swelling. In general, pubic muscle strain can be effectively managed through rest, ice application, heat therapy, medication, and other methods to promote rapid recovery. Specific measures are as follows:
1. Rest: During the initial phase of the strain, physical activity and exercise should be stopped to prevent further injury. Adequate rest helps facilitate muscle recovery.
2. Ice application: Within the first 48–72 hours after the injury, applying ice can help reduce pain and swelling. Apply ice for 15–20 minutes per session, 3–4 times daily.
3. Heat therapy: Starting from the third day after injury, heat application can help improve blood circulation and support muscle recovery. Apply heat for 20–30 minutes per session, 2–3 times daily.
4. Medication: If pain and swelling are severe, medications such as Musk Pain-Relief Plaster or Loxoprofen Sodium Gel Patch may be used under medical guidance. However, all medications should be used only as directed by a physician.
In addition, massage and rehabilitation exercises may also be beneficial. It is important to follow the doctor's advice during recovery, actively take steps to support muscle healing, and avoid excessive exercise or physical activity to prevent worsening the injury.
