Lecture Outline ‰ Introduction: • The trunk is divided into 4 main cavities: thoracic, abdominal, pelvic, and perineal. (see image 1) • The pelvis has an inlet and an outlet. (see image 2) The lowest part of the pelvic outlet is the perineum. • The perineum is separated from the pelvic cavity superiorly by the pelvic floor. • The pelvic floor or pelvic diaphragm is composed of muscle fibers of the levator ani, the coccygeus muscle, and associated connective tissue. (see image 3) We will talk about them more in the next lecture.

  • MR Imaging of Vaginal Morphology, Paravaginal Attachments and Ligaments
    MR imaging of vaginal morph:ingynious 05/06/15 10:09 Pagina 53 Original article MR imaging of vaginal morphology, paravaginal attachments and ligaments. Normal features VITTORIO PILONI Iniziativa Medica, Diagnostic Imaging Centre, Monselice (Padova), Italy Abstract: Aim: To define the MR appearance of the intact vaginal and paravaginal anatomy. Method: the pelvic MR examinations achieved with external coil of 25 nulliparous women (group A), mean age 31.3 range 28-35 years without pelvic floor dysfunctions, were compared with those of 8 women who had cesarean delivery (group B), mean age 34.1 range 31-40 years, for evidence of (a) vaginal morphology, length and axis inclination; (b) perineal body’s position with respect to the hymen plane; and (c) visibility of paravaginal attachments and lig- aments. Results: in both groups, axial MR images showed that the upper vagina had an horizontal, linear shape in over 91%; the middle vagi- na an H-shape or W-shape in 74% and 26%, respectively; and the lower vagina a U-shape in 82% of cases. Vaginal length, axis inclination and distance of perineal body to the hymen were not significantly different between the two groups (mean ± SD 77.3 ± 3.2 mm vs 74.3 ± 5.2 mm; 70.1 ± 4.8 degrees vs 74.04 ± 1.6 degrees; and +3.2 ± 2.4 mm vs + 2.4 ± 1.8 mm, in group A and B, respectively, P > 0.05). Overall, the lower third vaginal morphology was the less easily identifiable structure (visibility score, 2); the uterosacral ligaments and the parau- rethral ligaments were the most frequently depicted attachments (visibility score, 3 and 4, respectively); the distance of the perineal body to the hymen was the most consistent reference landmark (mean +3 mm, range -2 to + 5 mm, visibility score 4).

  • Skin Damage from Chronic Irritation Or Scratching
    Skin Damage from Chronic Irritation or Scratching Chronic irritation and scratching can cause skin damage to the vulva. Confusingly, this may be called many different things like Eczema, Lichen Simplex Chronicus (LSC), Chronic Dermatitis or Squamous Cell Hyperplasia. Some of these diagnoses require that a biopsy of the vulva has been performed; others are based just on clinical opinion after history and physical examination. Many things can trigger irritation of the vulva. For instance, scratching alone can lead to changes on the vulva that can be seen on physical exam or self-inspection. Often the original event that precipitated irritation and itching is unknown. Sometimes it is a vaginal infection, sometimes it is a contact irritant and sometimes it is a nervous itch. Regardless, the skin becomes irritated and inflamed, therefore beginning the “Scratch-Itch” cycle. Once this cycle is perpetuated, it is difficult for the vulvar skin to heal and the changes persist. When a biopsy is performed, it can greatly assist your practitioner in finding a diagnosis that can lead to successful treatment. Lichen simplex chronicus (LSC) and Squmous Cell Hyperplasia are 2 diagnoses that can be rendered after a skin biopsy. These are essentially similar entities and are defined as abnormal thickening of the skin of the vulva. Two thirds of patients who develop this condition are premenopausal. Moisture, chronic scratching, scrubbing, allergens, and medications may cause variations in the appearance of the lesions. The size of the lesions ranges from small to large, red to white, excoriated to eroded, and most frequently involve certain areas of the vulva like the hood of the clitoris, the labia majora, the interlabial sulcus (space between major and minor lips) outer aspect of the labia minora, and the perineal body (space between anus and vaginal opening).

  • Genital Variation
    Genital Variation People’s genitals are as unique as snowflakes! No two are alike... Our bodies, including our genitals, come in a variety of shapes, colors, and sizes. No two are exactly alike. Same bits & pieces, composed differently Did you know all human fetuses start out “female” unless hormones direct them differently? That’s why a fully-formed penis shares many characteristics with a clitoris, including a darker “underskin” and a thin “ridge” or seam” which runs from scrotum to anus. Basically, everyone’s sexual anatomy is arranged to accomplish the same few tasks: to produce steroid hormones for growth and development, to support reproduction, and to create pleasure during sex. Variations in anatomy simply reflect our unique abilities to accomplish these same tasks. Media paints an inaccurate picture The images of genitals shown in ads and in porn are commonly altered—subjected to airbrushing, makeup, fancy camera angles, photo editing and size-distorting techniques. The end result is a socially-constructed aesthetic, one which creates a false perception of conformity and reinforces a sex/gender binary. Real bodies are more interesting, varied, and nuanced.

  • Labial Hypertrophy and Asymmetry
    Labial Hypertrophy and Asymmetry What are labial hypertrophy and labial asymmetry? Labial hypertrophy is an increase in the size of one or both of the “lips” of the vagina, called the labia. Labial hypertrophy can affect the inner labia, known as the labia minora, or the outer labia, called the labia majora. When only one side of the labia is enlarged, the condition is referred to as labial asymmetry. There is no definition of “normal” labia size, but sometimes the labia minora or majora are larger than another persons How is labial hypertrophy or asymmetry or larger on one side. treated?

  • Female Reproductive System
    Female Reproductive System Professor Barry O'Reilly's Website Patients' Leaflets Female Reproductive System 1. The vulva's functions and structures Situated in a woman's pubic region, the vulva is part of the female external genitalia. It is actually a name for a collection of structures, that work as a team to support both urination and sexual reproduction. Veneris/mon publis: The veneris or mon pubis covers the female pubic bone, acting in the role of cushion during intercourse. It is formed like a soft small hill made up of fatty tissue. Labia: The female reproductive system contains two labia: the labia majora and labia minora (major and minor). The minora is contained within the majora which protects it. The function of both labia are to protect the vulva's vestibule. Clitoris: Made up of clitoral glans, the clitoris contains numerous nerve endings, making it extremely sensitive. The clitoral hood, which can be likened to the male foreskin, covers the clitoris. Vestibule: The vestibule is home to the vaginal opening and the urinary meatus, which contains the urethral opening. Introitus: The introitus is the vaginal opening. Mostly this is covered by the hymen, which is a membrane that most females are born with, which ruptures during the woman's first act of sexual intercourse. There are a small number of cases when baby girls are born, who don't have hymens. Bartholin's glands: The greater vestibular glands, also known as the Bartholin's glands are located on the vaginal opening, at the back. On the back part of the vaginal opening is the Bartholin´s glands (greater vestibular glands).
