Pictures of what groin really means

In human anatomy, the groin refers to a structure located between the abdominal pain bone and the root of the thigh, in the groin of the femur. This structure is composed primarily of four muscle groups (iliopsoas, rectus femoris, vastus femoris, and hernia femoris) and the peritoneum, and is the junction of the abdominal wall muscles and the thigh muscles.

The groin has more important physiological functions in the human body. First of all, the groin is an important intersection of the lower limbs of the human body, in which the muscle groups can be coordinated, so as to undertake the transfer of energy and the effective distribution of the body. Secondly, the muscle groups in the groin, through the assistance of the peritoneum and iliopsoas muscles, can effectively strengthen the support and stability of the waist and pubic region during walking, running and other physical activities. In addition, the groin is also a support structure for the spermatic cord in the male body, which has a certain protective effect on male fertility function.

The groin area is susceptible to pain and discomfort. Common conditions include iliopsoas membrane inflammation and femoral hernia. To minimize pain and discomfort in the groin area, preventive measures are important. It is recommended to eat a healthy diet, exercise regularly, avoid prolonged weight-bearing or strenuous exercise, try to avoid accidental injuries such as muscle strains, and seek medical attention when noticeable symptoms occur. Regular massage and fitness exercises in the groin area also play a role in preventing groin pain and discomfort.
