What should I do if I strain my thigh muscles during exercise?

Today, we are going to discuss the topic that people are very concerned about, which is the treatment of thigh muscle strain when people exercise. Nowadays, people pay more and more attention to physical exercise, so they always do various exercises that are good for their health in their spare time. However, due to various reasons, thigh muscles are often strained during exercise. Next, let’s take a look at some information.

Micro-damage to the muscle, partial tearing or complete rupture of the muscle caused by strong passive contraction or excessive passive stretching of the muscle is called muscle strain. This is one of the most common sports injuries.

A muscle strain is an injury caused by a sudden contraction or overstretching of a muscle during exercise. This is common during stretches, pull-ups, and sit-ups. After a muscle strain, there is severe pain in the strained area, and you can feel a cord-like lump formed by the muscle tension with your hand. It is obviously painful to touch, and there is local swelling or subcutaneous bleeding, and movement is obviously restricted.

After a muscle strain, you should immediately apply cold treatment - rinse the area with cold water or apply ice cubes wrapped in a towel, then wrap the injured area with a bandage with appropriate force to prevent swelling. While relaxing the muscles of the injured area and raising the injured limb, you can take some analgesic and hemostatic drugs. The bandage is removed after 24 to 48 hours. Depending on the severity of the injury, you can apply blood circulation and swelling-reducing plasters, apply appropriate hot compresses or massage the injured area with lighter techniques.

If the muscle strain is severe, such as if the muscle belly or tendon is broken, you should rush to the hospital for surgery to suture it.

Since the plaster has a high consistency, it has a series of advantages such as high content of active ingredients, slow precipitation rate, long-lasting effect on main symptoms, and effective local efficacy.

The above is an introduction to the specific content of the treatment methods for thigh muscle strain during exercise, which people are very concerned about. When doing exercise, you should do sufficient warm-up exercises first, such as stretching and stretching exercises, so as to avoid straining the thigh muscles during exercise. And after exercise, you should drink more water to avoid physical exhaustion.
