Lymph from the groin primarily flows upward toward the abdomen and chest. It moves through the inguinal lymph nodes and then drains into the larger lymphatic vessels, eventually reaching the thoracic duct or right lymphatic duct, depending on the side of the body. This upward flow is part of the body's lymphatic system, which helps in immune function and fluid balance.
