👉 Ham infection, also known as hamstring muscle infection, is a common bacterial infection that affects the hamstrings, which are the muscles at the back of the thigh. It typically occurs when bacteria enter the muscle through a cut or tear, or via contaminated exercise equipment like treadmills or weightlifting machines. Common causes include sports activities, poor hygiene, and direct trauma to the muscle. Symptoms often include severe pain in the affected area, swelling, redness, and limited range of motion. If left untreated, hamstring infections can lead to more serious complications, such as abscesses or chronic inflammation. Prompt medical attention, including antibiotics and rest, is crucial for effective treatment and recovery.
