Question

What is pubic symphysis and what is its role during parturition?

Answer 1

Dear Rimanshu, The pubic symphysis is a secondary cartilaginous joint located between the left and right pubic bones near the midline of the body. More specifically, it is located above any external genitalia and in front of the bladder. The symphysis pubis separates to some degree during childbirth and eases in the coming out of the baby.
