On February 19, star Messi posted on social platforms that "adductor inflammation is not **" is the main reason for missing the friendly match in Hong Kong, China, and the news quickly rushed to the top of the hot search.
What is adductor inflammation? What is the impact on life and sports? On February 20, Sun Sanfeng, deputy chief physician of the ** Department of Huairou Hospital of Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Zhang Qijuan, deputy chief physician of the ** Department of Acupuncture and Moxibustion of Wuhan Orthopaedic Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, said in an interview with the reporter of the People's ** Health Client that adductor inflammation is a common disease among sports enthusiasts and professional athletes, and the recovery period varies from person to person, but it takes a certain period.
Sun Sanfeng introduced that the adductor muscle is a muscle group located on the inner thigh, composed of pubis, adductor brevis, adductor longus, adductor magorum and gracilis muscle, which mainly controls the movement of the thigh and hip joint, and plays an important role in running, football, swimming and other sports.
Adductor inflammation, on the other hand, usually refers to tendonitis of the adductor muscle groups, which is a chronic injury associated with repeated strains at the beginning of the hip adductor muscle, with groin pain being a common symptom. Sun Sanfeng and Zhang Qijuan both told reporters that because ordinary people rarely use adductor muscles in their daily lives, they are mostly used in competitive sports enthusiasts and athletes with more adduction force in the thighs such as football and basketball.
Although people who lack physical fitness, are inactive for a long time, are tired, obese, and are elderly and frail can also suffer from the disease, it can be recovered through resting and recuperation, and it will not affect life. Sun Sanfeng said, "It is more important to pay attention to the athlete group, if you continue to exercise during acute adductor tendonitis, it will eventually lead to the loss of function." ”
Last Wednesday, Zhang Qijuan treated a high school student who suffered from adductor tendonitis due to improper exertion during gymnastics training. She pointed out that this kind of situation is not common, and the most important concern for the general population is that due to the similar symptoms, it is easy to confuse lower limb pain caused by lumbar disc herniation with adductor muscle damage.
Massage, medium-frequency ultrasound and other physical methods, electrical stimulation and drugs are all routine methods for such diseases, "but the most important thing for this disease is to rest and not exercise vigorously." Sun Sanfeng said.
In terms of **, recovery time for adductor tendonitis varies from a few weeks to several months, depending on the severity of the condition. "If it can recover in as little as two or three days, it means that the symptoms are very mild, and the average athlete can play normally, but it may affect the performance slightly. Zhang Qijuan said.
Sun Sanfeng believes that it may take weeks to months for the symptoms of the disease to completely subside. "Ordinary people are advised to recuperate to a complete level, while for athletes, it is generally recommended to return to sports after the symptoms have completely subsided, in order not to affect the athlete's career. ”
