perineum

The perineum is the area between the genitals and the anus, located at the bottom of the pelvis. It includes muscles, skin, and tissues that support the pelvic organs and play a key role during childbirth and urination. In men, it spans from the scrotum to the anus, while in women, it extends from the vulva to the anus. The perineum is important for functions like sexual activity, childbirth, and maintaining pelvic stability. It can sometimes be affected by injuries, surgical procedures, or conditions requiring specific medical care.
