A pulled "groin" is actually a strained muscle in the upper thigh.
Strained muscles occur when the fibers of the muscle are stretched too far.
The result is a group of torn fibers, or in horrible cases, the entire muscle may tear.
Usually however, it is just a small tear.
If you feel that your muscle has ripped entirely, and you are in a lot of pain, PLEASE GO SEE A DOCTOR! You probably need surgery to correct this problem.
If it is a minor strain, and you are not in agony, a doctor will not be able to do much for you.
REST is the key!
If you pulled your groin within 48hrs ago, you should be icing it as much as comfortable.
After that point, gentle heat applied to the affected area before any physical activity is recommended, as this will help loosen the torn muscle.
I am not a doctor, I'm just a kid, none of this should be taken as scientific fact.

What causes groin pains? I would say grow'n pains. I think and heard its stretching or pulling of the muscle. Like when you strain to have a bowel movement. That muscle you flex when doing so is your groin. It sounds like you've pulled or strained something which may or may not be your groin. Either way it sounds like its time for a trip to the doctor.
