| lacunar ligament |
an extension of the medial end of inguinal ligament which connects the pubic tubercle with the pecten of the pubis |
the lacunar ligament is a flattened portion of the aponeurosis of the external abdominal oblique m. that projects posteriorly from the pubic tubercle; it forms the medial border of the femoral ring and the floor of the inguinal canal at the superficial inguinal ring |
| pectineal ligament |

the pectineal ligament looks like an extension of the lacunar ligament along the surface of the pectineal line; also known as: Cooper's ligament (note: Cooper's ligaments are also found in the breast) | Take this preliminary to see if your condition could respond to treatment.
