Fascia of the Perineum Superficial

Perineal superficial fascia (fascia perinealis superficialis) is a fascial formation that covers the perineum and the lower part of the anterior vaginal wall. It consists of several layers and performs the function of supporting the pelvic organs, and also ensures their protection from injury and damage.

The superficial perineal fascia is one of the components of the perineal fascia, which consists of three layers: superficial, deep and middle. The superficial layer is the superficial perineal fascia.

The functions of the superficial perineal fascia include providing support to the pelvic organs and protecting them from injury. It also participates in the formation of the muscular framework of the perineum and pelvic floor, which allows maintaining the normal functioning of the pelvic organs.

When pathological, the fascia can be damaged, which can lead to various diseases such as urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse or even infertility. Therefore, it is important to monitor the condition of the fascia and carry out treatment if necessary.



The perineal fascia (lat. fascia perinealis) is a thin connective tissue membrane that covers the muscles and vessels of the pelvis. It is of great importance in maintaining the normal functioning of the pelvic and perineal organs.

The perineal fascia is divided into superficial and deep. The superficial fascia is wider and covers most of the muscles of the perineum. It consists of two layers: superficial and deep. The surface layer consists of collagen and elastin, which provide strength and elasticity to the fascia. The deep layer contains muscle fibers and vessels that pass through the fascia.

The importance of the perineal fascia is that it supports the normal functioning of the pelvic organs. It protects them from injury and damage, and also ensures normal blood and lymph flow. In addition, the fascia helps keep the pelvic organs in the correct position and prevents their displacement.

If the fascia is damaged or weakened, it can lead to various problems. For example, urinary or fecal incontinence, discomfort during sexual intercourse, and pain in the perineum and pelvis may occur.

To maintain the health of the perineal fascia, it is important to monitor your posture, eat right and exercise. It is also necessary to avoid injuries and overload of the pelvic organs, such as heavy lifting or prolonged sitting. If symptoms of fascial injury occur, you should consult a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.
