About this document
Anatomy and Function of the Perineal Body by velsrinivasan96 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The perineal body is a fibro-muscular structure located at the midline of the perineum, playing a crucial role in supporting pelvic organs and preventing prolapse. It is associated with 10 muscles, including both paired and unpaired types, and can be injured during vaginal delivery, potentially leading to pelvic organ prolapse. An episiotomy may be performed to prevent damage to the perineal body during childbirth.
