Round ligament

Ligamentum teres uteri · Oblý děložní vaz

Fascia & connective tissue · female only

Looks like

A cord from the horn of the womb through the groin canal into the labium majus.

What it does

Helps hold the womb tipped forward.

Keeping it well

Nothing routine; it stretches in pregnancy and gives a sharp groin pain on moving, which is harmless.
