Introduction to the structure of the female pelvis
The female pelvis is composed of three parts: the pubic bone, the ischium and the coccyx. Among them, the pubic symphysis is the part that connects the pubic bones on both sides and is the only passage from the female reproductive tract to the outside world. The pubic symphysis is not visible in most cases, and only extreme circumstances such as childbirth can cause it to bulge. Compared with the male pelvis, the female pelvis is larger and the related structures are shorter and wider, which allows women to give birth. The structure of the female pelvis also changes with age and the number of births. Therefore, understanding the structure of the female pelvis is of great significance to women\’s self-care, fertility and preventive care in old age.
Location of pubic symphysis
The female pubic symphysis is located at the front of the pelvis, and the gap formed by the relative union of the pubic bones on both sides is the pubic symphysis. Because the pubic symphysis is connected to the pubic bones on both sides, it is also the most stable part of the female pelvis. Under normal circumstances, a woman\’s pubic symphysis is a small gap. The distance is generally about 1-2cm. You can feel out with your fingers on both sides of the gap. During pregnancy, due to the action of hormones, the pubic symphysis becomes more relaxed to facilitate the smooth passage of the fetus. During the delivery process, the pubic symphysis will be slightly separated, so that the fetus\’ head can pass through the pubic symphysis smoothly and be born. The pubic symphysis will return to normal a few months after delivery.
Abnormalities of the pubic symphysis
In some cases, women develop abnormalities in their pubic symphysis. The most common is anterior displacement of the pubic symphysis, which is often referred to as excessive pelvic reconstruction, which is caused by some inappropriate movements or increased loads. Clinically, forward movement of the pubic symphysis can lead to long-term constipation, low back pain, urinary incontinence and other problems. Treatment methods mainly include self-care, physical therapy, surgery, etc. In addition, some inflammation, infection and other conditions may also cause the pubic symphysis to expand or shrink abnormally, leading to discomfort or pain.
About the health care of pelvic structure
It is important to maintain correct posture, avoid inappropriate movements and activities, and maintain a proper weight. It is related to gravity. Actions such as standing, sitting, walking, etc. will increase the burden on the pelvis. Lack of exercise can lead to shrinkage, stiffness, loss of elasticity and other problems in the pelvic muscles and ligaments, increasing the risk of pelvic injury and dysfunction. Based on women\’s physiological conditions, appropriate pelvic floor muscle exercises can help strengthen the pelvic floor muscles. In addition, eating healthily and maintaining a happy mood can also prevent the occurrence of pelvic-related diseases.
In conclusion, it is important to understand the structure of the female pelvis and its associated issues. For female friends, scientific exercise and health maintenance can be used to maintain a healthy pelvic structure, thereby improving the quality of life and self-experience.
