What could cause pain in both inner thighs?
Pain in both inner thighs can be caused by genitofemoral neuralgia, sacroiliac joint issues, or conditions like systemic lupus erythematosus.
Explanation
Pain in the inner thighs can have several causes. Genitofemoral neuralgia is an uncommon condition that affects the genitofemoral nerve, which can lead to pain in the thigh area. This condition involves irritation or damage to the nerve, causing discomfort.
Another possible cause is sacroiliac joint disorder. This condition affects the joints connecting the lower spine to the pelvis, which can lead to pain radiating down the legs, including the inner thighs.
Lastly, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease that can cause widespread inflammation and pain, including in the thigh area. It affects multiple parts of the body and can lead to a variety of symptoms, including joint and muscle pain.
Each of these conditions has different treatments and management strategies, so it is important to talk to a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
