Schematic drawing of various types of uterine fibroids: a=subserosal fibroids, b=intramural fibroids, c=submucosal fibroid, d=pedunculated submucosal fibroid, e=cervical fibroid, f=fibroid of the broad ligament. Growth and location are the main factors that determine if a fibroid leads to symptoms and problems. [6]
The uterosacral ligaments (or rectouterine ligaments [1]) are major ligaments of uterus that extend posterior-ward from the cervix to attach onto the (anterior aspect of the [2]) sacrum. [ 3 ] Structure
This is accomplished by bringing the edges of the vagina together and suturing them together and to the uterosacral ligaments to prevent prolapse. The peritoneum is also sewn into the newly created vaginal cuff. [1] There may be an advantage to using one method of closure over another. [3]
The first line treatment for urethral hypermobility is pelvic floor exercises under supervision of a physical therapist. However, there is no consensus on which training regiments are most effective, and studies have not determined which mechanisms improve the function of the pelvic floor muscles (e.g. improving reflex action of muscles in ...
The uterosacral ligaments are especially important in providing support to the uterus by attaching and holding the uterus, cervix, and upper vagina to the sacrum. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Schematic of the female reproductive system with a frontal view. 43 depicts the pelvic floor muscles that support the uterus in the pelvic cavity.
The round ligament of the uterus is a ligament that connects the uterus to the labia majora. It originates at the junction of the uterus and uterine tube. It passes through the inguinal canal to insert at the labium majus. The two round ligaments of uterus develop from the gubernaculum; they are the female homologue of the male gubernaculum ...
The parametrium lies in front of the cervix and extends laterally between the layers of the broad ligaments. It connects the uterus to other tissues in the pelvis. [1] It is different from the perimetrium, which is the outermost layer of the uterus. The uterine artery and ovarian ligament are located in the parametrium.
The cystocele in this region of the vagina is thought to be due to a cardinal ligament defect. [16] [25] Medial cystocele forms in the mid-vagina and is related to a defect in the suspension provided by to a sagittal suspension system defect in the uterosacral ligaments and pubocervical fascia. The pubocervical fascia may thin or tear and ...
