A sports hernia is a type of core muscle injury that occurs when there is weakening or a tear in the lower abdominal wall or the tendons that attach muscles to your pelvis.
Although it can be found in a similar location as an inguinal hernia, there is typically no bulge of the intestine protruding through the weakened spot in the abdominal wall.
