Functional anatomy of the female pelvic floor [PDF]
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2007 Abstract: The anatomic structures in the female that prevent incontinence and genital organ prolapse on increases in abdominal pressure during daily activities include sphincteric and supportive systems. In the urethra, the action of the vesical neck and urethral sphincteric mechanisms maintains urethral closure pressure above bladder pressure ...

Pelvic-floor function, dysfunction, and treatment
European Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology and Reproductive Biology, 2021 The pelvic floor functions as a holistic entity. The organs, bladder, bowel, smooth and striated muscles, nerves, ligaments and other connective tissues are directed cortically and reflexly from various levels of the nervous system. Such holistic integration is essential for the system's multiple functions, for example, pelvic girdle stability ...

Quantitative Imaging in Medicine and Surgery, 2023 Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a pelvic floor dysfunction disease which affects females. The volume of pelvic floor muscle, especially the levator ani muscle (LAM), is an important indicator of pelvic floor function. However, muscle volume measurements depend on manual segmentation, which is clinically time-consuming.
