The external spermatic fascia (or fascia of the spermatic muscle, lat. fāscia spermática externa) is a layer of connective tissue covering the spermatic cord in men and the muscular lining of the vagina in women.
Fascia Seminalis External is formed as a result of the fusion of the superficial fascia and the fibrous inner shell of the muscles. It has a round shape and size about 4-6 cm in diameter.
Functions of the fascia spermata externa - Support and fixation of the pelvic organs - Holds the testicle and other genital organs in place - Protects the pelvic organs from external damage - Regulates blood and lymph flow in the genitals
The main functions of the external fascia are related to the maintenance and fixation of the pelvic organs. The genital organ is placed in a sheath formed by the fascia, which helps it maintain the desired position. When the position of the genital organs changes, the blood supply and nutrition of the organs is disrupted. Blood flow must be maintained and stabilized. Insufficient fixation and changes in the position of the organ can lead to dangerous diseases.
