Answers:
This is probably the same as an inguinal hernia, as the femoral canal passes beneath the inguinal ligament. Both have to do with the crease between the bottom of the pelvis and the top of the leg. The canal allows the femoral nerve, femoral vein and femoral artery to pass between the pelvis and leg. When a loop of bowel inserts itself into this space -- or the space is large enough that this could happen -- it's called a hernia.
