Vesical-Umbilical Fold Middle

The middle vesico-umbilical fold is one of two folds that are located between the navel and the bladder. This fold connects the abdominal cavity to the bladder and can be found in some people.

Medium-sized vesico-umbilical folds can be associated with various diseases, including inflammatory processes, urinary tract infections and others. They can also cause abdominal pain and discomfort when urinating.

To diagnose medium-sized vesico-umbilical folds, ultrasound and computed tomography are usually used. Treatment depends on the cause of the wrinkles and may include antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, and other treatments.

It is important to note that middle vesico-umbilical folds are not a disease and do not require treatment. However, if they cause discomfort or abdominal pain, you should see a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

What is the middle vesico-umbilical fold?

The middle vesico-umbilical fold is an anatomical formation in the lower abdomen, consisting of two layers of tissue that form a semicircular fold around the genitourinary system (pelvis) and the umbilical opening. The middle vesico-umbilical fold is an important regulator of blood flow and patency of the urinary tract.

Functions of the middle vesico-umbilical fold

**2 functions of the middle umbilical-vesical fold** can be distinguished:

1. **Separating function**: The umbilical-vesical fold serves to separate the urinary system from the anterior abdominal wall. At the same time, it reduces friction between organs and helps prevent the development of infections of the ureters and lower parts of the urinary system: prostate, urethra. Also, during gestation, during which the abdomen is constantly growing, the fold ensures the correct movement of the fetus. 2. **Regulatory function:** Maintains and strengthens the muscles of the lower abdominal cavity, thereby preventing stretching of the skin and the development of hernias. 3. **Protective function:** With its deep subcutaneous part, preserving the anatomical structures of the scrotum.

***In addition, the vesico-umbilical opening actively participates in gas exchange in the body, serving as a reservoir for the accumulation of gases leaving the intestines.*

Clinical significance of vesico-vesical deposits of the middle: - Examination of the pathology of the lower abdominal urea; - Diagnosis of diseases of the scrotum and prostate organs;

Thus, the umbilical-vesical deposit of the middle, in addition to aesthetic and sexual disadvantages, has a multifaceted significance and represents an important structure of the lower abdominal zone.
