To alleviate persistent groin discomfort during squats, prioritize strengthening and active stabilization of the adductor muscles (notably through asymmetrical hip exercises) rather than passive stretching, especially if you observe a strength deficit on one side.

The approach of strengthening rather than stretching to resolve groin discomfort is based on solid scientific foundations. A systematic review published by Serner et al. in the British Journal of Sports Medicine (an analysis of several clinical trials) supports the fact that active programs based on adductor strengthening are much more effective than passive therapies or stretching. Furthermore, the use of the Copenhagen plank to assess and strengthen this area is validated by a randomized controlled trial by Harøy et al. (2018), demonstrating its efficacy on hip functionality. However, the claim that a specific exercise (the asymmetrical deadlift with a roller) instantly and permanently eliminates discomfort is a matter of personal clinical anecdote. While the biomechanical logic of this exercise is interesting for recruiting adductors in motion, its immediate efficacy has not been rigorously measured on a large scale.
