Infundibulopelvic ligament

Infundibulopelvic ligament, or l. infundibulopelvicum, is an anatomical structure that connects the uterine funnel and the pelvic cavity. This ligament plays an important role in a woman's reproductive system, as it provides support to the uterus and its organs during pregnancy and childbirth.

The infundibulopelvic ligament consists of connective tissue, ligaments and muscles. It starts from the fundus of the uterus and passes through the pelvic cavity, where it connects with the sacrospinous ligament. The infundibulopelvic ligament is an important component of supporting the uterus and helps it maintain its shape and position during pregnancy.

In addition, the infundibulopelvic ligament also plays a role in regulating the menstrual cycle. During ovulation, when the egg is released from the ovary, the uterus and infundibulopelvic ligament begin to contract, which leads to an increase in progesterone levels and prepares the uterus for implantation of a fertilized egg.

However, if the infundibulopelvic ligament is damaged or weakened due to injury, pregnancy, or other factors, it can lead to a variety of problems, including infertility, miscarriages, birth complications, and other health problems.

Therefore, it is important to monitor the health of the infundibulopelvic ligament, especially during pregnancy. Regular examinations with a gynecologist and following recommendations for maintaining the health of this ligament can help prevent possible problems and ensure a normal pregnancy.
