Can hip synovitis cause groin pain?
Disease description:
Last month, I accidentally got injured while playing ball with a colleague. My leg has been hurting ever since. I went to the hospital and got some medication to apply, but it didn't help. After further examination at the hospital, the doctor diagnosed me with synovitis. Can hip joint synovitis cause groin pain?

Dr. Xu Ge
Hip synovitis generally causes groin pain, which may radiate from the inner thigh to the groin and around the hip joint. Patients must ensure adequate rest and avoid prolonged walking or weight-bearing activities. They should also prevent colds and relieve pain through heat application and topical use of traditional Chinese medicine. Oral blood-activating and pain-relieving medications are recommended. If necessary, lower limb traction can be performed to alleviate symptoms.
