Cause

1) Muscle strain that causes localized pain in the inner thigh, or groin.
2) Overstretching, partial tearing or complete rupturing of the small fibers that makes up your groin and pelvis muscles.
3) Excessive tension, effort or use, especially during activities that require running, kicking, twisting, or side-stepping.
