Can constipation cause groin pain if straining to use the bathroom? the pain has improved in last few days due to finally having bowel movements. i have ibs. thank you

Possible: That would be a likely explanation. When you bear down you vasalva and increase your intra-abdominal pressure quite a bit. This can cause pressure in the area where you can get a hernia and that can cause pain. Some people will get a hernia.
