endopelvic fascia

Endopelvic fascia is a supportive connective tissue layer within the pelvis, acting as a soft tissue "framework" that surrounds and supports organs such as the bladder, uterus, and rectum. It helps maintain their position and provides attachment points for muscles and ligaments, contributing to pelvic stability and function. This fascia is made of strong, fibrous tissue that also contains blood vessels and nerves, aiding in the nourishment and sensation of pelvic organs. Its integrity is important for pelvic health, and it can be involved in conditions like prolapse or pelvic pain if weakened or damaged.
