The grown fetus usually obstructs the view of the posterior elements of the uterus. The evaluation of adnexa and ovaries is also often not possible as the structures are high up in the abdominal cavity and out of the scanning depth. Luckily, pathologies requiring the assessment of adnexa are r...

The female internal genitalia derive their blood supply from two principal sources, the uterine and ovarian arteries. The terminal parts of these two vessels anastomose within the broad ligament, and consequently a vascular arcade is established that extends from the cervix to the ovary (Fig. 1)....

function of the vagina is for sexual intercourse and childbirth. During sexual intercourse, the vagina acts as a reservoir for semen to collect before the sperm ascending into the cervix to travel towards the uterus and fallopian tubes. Also, the vagina also acts as an outflow tract...
Uterine prolapse, prolapse of the uterus into the vagina Kegel exercises may help in the early stages by strengthening the muscles. Vaginal pessaries can be used. In symptomatic conditions, surgery is also a helpful solution. Extensive deformations of the pelvic floor structures occur in females dur...
The urethra is located below the bladder. It is located on the pelvic floor cavity. It is located in front of the rectum in males, and anterior to the uterus in females, in the upper vaginal region. Urethra and Ureter The ureter is a tube which connects the kidney to the bladder so ...
Type II (n?=?5/32, 15.6%) defines a short and solid cervix with a round end; the structure lacked uterosacral and cardinal ligament attachments to the lower uterine body. Type III (n?=?2/32, 6.3%) is complete cervical atresia, in which the lowest region of the uterus exhibited a ...

Although there is good anatomical knowledge of the region, the neurological and biomechanical functions of the pelvic floor are not well understood and knowledge of these is continuously evolving. Consequently, correct assessment of ...
