Pelvis and abdomen

The pelvis is the lower center of the body and consists of several fused bones that connect the spine to the legs. It is both a supporting structure and a protective framework for the urinary tract, genitals and parts of the intestine. The hip joints, which enable walking and movement, and the sacroiliac joints that connect the spine to the pelvis are also located in the pelvis.

When it comes to the internal genital organs that are located in the pelvis, men have the prostate and vas deferens. The internal genital organs of women consist of the uterus, ovaries and fallopian tubes. The external genital organs – such as the clitoris, labia, penis, scrotum and testicles – also belong to this area. Our genitals are rich in nerves, blood vessels and glands, which are important for reproduction, hormone production and urination. It is an area where anatomy, function and sexuality meet.
