I have a pain in my groin area and it iscaused by a wrong position while making squats in the gym. should i stop for a while? could it be a hernia?

Muscle strain/hernia: It could easily be a stringed muscle which would benefit from rest, nsaids, and warm compresses. A hernia, however, is not uncommon and should be ruled out by getting examined by your physician.
