Can constipation in children give groin pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Dilation of the rectum and/or pressure on the pelvic structures form dilated colon can indeed cause discomfort that goes into the pelvic and groin area. Increase fiber, increase fluids and if continued constipation, talk to doc about use of stool softeners like miralax (polyethylene glycol).
