Pelvimetry

Pelvimetry is a method for studying the structure of the pelvis and its size, which is used in gynecology and obstetrics. This method allows you to evaluate the anatomical features of the pelvis, such as its shape, size and position, which is important for the correct choice of delivery tactics and pregnancy planning.

Pelvimetry is carried out using special devices called pelvimetric devices. They allow you to measure the size of the pelvis and determine its shape. For this purpose, various measurement methods are used, such as anthropometric measurements, radiography and ultrasound.

After performing pelvimetry, the doctor can determine whether the pelvis is suitable for vaginal delivery or whether a caesarean section is required. Pelvimetry can also help identify the presence of various diseases associated with changes in the structure of the pelvis, such as hip dysplasia, scoliosis and others.

In general, pelvimetry is an important method for diagnosing and assessing the structure of the pelvis. It allows doctors to choose the right delivery tactics and prevent possible complications during pregnancy and childbirth.
