What Is the Groin?

The groin is an important part connecting the abdomen and thighs. Due to its close proximity to the external genitals, it is often considered a privacy area. The groin area is wet and impermeable, which often becomes a hidden danger to health.

The groin is a triangular area on both sides of the lower abdomen. The medial boundary is the outer edge of the rectus abdominis, the upper boundary is the horizontal line from the anterior superior iliac spine to the outer edge of the rectus abdominis, and the lower boundary is the inguinal ligament. This area is weak due to:

Inguinal inguinal hernia

The ring protrudes and enters the inguinal canal downward, forward, and obliquely. It can penetrate the outer groin ring and enter the scrotum. Straight hernias protrude directly from the inside of the inferior abdominal wall artery without entering the scrotum without the inner ring. Inguinal hernias are classified into congenital and acquired. Congenital oblique hernia is caused by incomplete closure of the peritoneal sheath process and communication with the abdominal cavity. Acquired oblique hernias are caused by increased intra-abdominal pressure and loosening of the inner groin ring.

Straight inguinal hernia

Straight hernias are often the result of weak abdominal wall muscles and elevated intra-abdominal pressure. The oblique hernia of infants under 1 year of age can be treated with compression of the hernia band, which may be cured as it grows and develops. For incarcerated or reducible hernias, surgical treatment should be used in principle. For patients who are not easy to operate, hernia bands can be used for treatment, and laparoscopic repair of hernia is also available.
