If a baby is born vaginally, they will naturally pass through the birth canal before being born. However, many people are not particularly clear about the specific location of the birth canal. Many people confuse the birth canal with the pelvis. So, does the birth canal refer to the pelvis? Let's learn about it together.
When it comes to the birth canal, many people feel both familiar and unfamiliar. Those familiar with it are aware of the existence of the birth canal, but it is not very clear what the specific birth canal refers to. In fact, the birth canal has two main parts, namely the soft birth canal and the bony birth canal. The bone birth canal is somewhat connected to the pelvis, and a part of the birth canal includes the pelvis and the lower part of the pelvis.
If the birth canal mainly refers to the soft birth canal, it mainly includes the soft tissues of the pelvic floor, vagina, cervix, and the lower end of the uterus. That is to say, these parts together will form the soft birth canal. If there are abnormalities in the soft birth canal, it is important to be cautious of the occurrence of difficult labor, but difficult labor caused by the soft birth canal is relatively rare.
For women who choose vaginal delivery, it is important to pay attention to pre delivery examinations, especially routine examinations of the vaginal area. This type of examination is mainly aimed at understanding the development of the birth canal, which can help to detect abnormalities in the pelvis and other parts earlier and prepare for vaginal delivery.
