Where is the groin and what are the common diseases?

The groin is a part of the body that is prone to disease. In daily life, people should also pay attention to the care of the groin. So, where is the groin? What are the common diseases?

Where is the inguinal groove?

The groin is an important part connecting the abdomen and thighs. Because it is very close to the external genitalia, it is often regarded as a private part. The moisture and airtightness of the groin often become a hidden health hazard.

The groin is an important part connecting the abdomen and thighs. Because it is very close to the external genitalia, it is often regarded as a private part. The groin is the main area of ​​sexual activity and one of the important sexually sensitive areas. For adult men, stimulating the inguinal canal can strengthen the function of the testicles. For sexual function treatment, massaging the testicles can enhance male sexual function. But it is more effective to stimulate the inguinal canal located on both sides of the root of the penis. The inguinal canal is a pathway for transporting blood to the testicles and connecting nerves. If the function of the inguinal canal is low, it will inevitably cause low testicular function. Therefore, it is important to ensure good blood circulation in the inguinal canal. For adult women, stimulation of the groin canal can also enhance or improve sexual desire. The dampness and airtightness of the groin area often become a hidden health hazard.

Common diseases of the groin area:

Inguinal hernia

An indirect hernia protrudes from the inner ring of the inguinal groove on the outside of the inferior epigastric artery, and enters the inguinal canal downward, forward, and obliquely. It can pass through the outer ring of the inguinal groove and enter the scrotum. A direct hernia protrudes directly outward from the inner side of the inferior epigastric artery, without passing through the inner ring and entering the scrotum. There are two types of indirect inguinal hernias: congenital and acquired. Congenital indirect hernias are caused by incomplete closure of the processus vaginalis of the peritoneum, which is connected to the abdominal cavity. Acquired indirect hernias are caused by increased intra-abdominal pressure and relaxation of the inner ring of the inguinal canal.

Direct inguinal hernia

Direct hernias are usually the result of weak abdominal wall muscles and increased intra-abdominal pressure. For indirect hernias in infants under 1 year old, compression with a hernia band can be used, and as they grow and develop, they may be cured. In principle, surgical treatment should be used for incarcerated hernias or reducible hernias. For patients who are not suitable for surgery, hernia bands can be used for treatment, and hernia repair surgery can also be performed through laparoscopy.
