Left and right inguinal regions shown in lower part of diagram
In human anatomy, the groin, also known as the inguinal region or iliac region,[1] is the junctional area between the torso and the thigh.[2] The groin is at the front of the body on either side of the pubic tubercle, where the lower part of the abdominal wall meets the thigh.[3][1] A fold or crease is formed at this junction known as the inguinal groove, or crease. This is also the area of the medial compartment of the thigh that contains attachments of the adductor muscles of the hip or the groin muscles. The groin is the common site for a hernia.
