Introduction
The medial vesical ligament (lat. Ligamentum vesicae medii) is an important anatomical element in the human body. Its function is to strengthen and support the lower abdomen and genitourinary system. With the development of medicine and technology, it has become possible to improve the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases associated with the medial ligament. In this article we will look at the main aspects of studying this bundle.
Anatomy and physiology
The cystic ligament (vesica urologica) is a strong elastic membrane that passes through the middle part of the genitourinary tract. It is located between the outer lining of the bladder (M.m.cysti) and the skin of the perineum and covers the lower part of the urethra (t.Urethrae). The vesical ligament performs the following functions:
* Maintains intra-abdominal pressure
* Provides transportation of urine from the bladder to the outside world
*Can be used during operations on the urinary tract
Physiological studies have shown that outside of pregnancy, the ligament is not involved in normal urination. When the uterus enlarges during pregnancy, the ligament is stretched, which leads to a weakening of its functions and the manifestation of symptoms that may indicate pathology of the pelvic area. These changes are most noticeable in the last two trimesters of pregnancy.
When there is increased pressure in the bladder due to overfilling or pathology, urinary incontinence may occur. This is caused by the fact that the stretched ligament forms only a fairly narrow channel for the outflow of urine, and the walls of the bladder continue to vibrate, stimulating the nerves and causing them to react.
Symptoms
Some common symptoms associated with the medial vesical ligament are:
1. Frequent urge to urinate 2. Increased amount of urine per hour or frequent urination at night 3. Difficult onset
