In the area where the upper leg meets the body. It is called the groin area. The inguinal canal resides at the base of the belly. Both men and woman have an inguinal canal. In men, the testes usually descend through this canal shortly before birth. In women, the canal is the location for the uterine ligament. If you have a hernia in this passage, it results in a protruding bulge that may be painful during movement.
