Which region lies on the left side of the hypogastric region?

• A. Left iliac/inguinal
• B. Right iliac/inguinal
• C. Umbilical region
• D. Hypogastric/pubic

Answer: (A)

Understanding abdominal regions helps map where each area sits relative to the midline. The hypogastric region is the central lower area. To its left lies the left iliac (inguinal) region, which occupies the lower-left portion of the abdomen. The other options don’t fit because the right iliac region sits on the opposite side, the umbilical region is centered around the navel, and the hypogastric region itself is the central lower area, not its left neighbor.
