Pelvic irregularities

Bone irregularities

We describe a narrowed pelvis as a pelvis that has at least one of the pelvic dimensions smaller. This situation is quite rare, it occurs in 1 - 2% of births.

The causes can be, for example, post-traumatic, the small figure of a woman, the consequences of rickets, etc.

The doctor decides on the birth itself depending on various factors, e.g.:

  • fetus size
  • low female height (below 160 cm)
  • gynecological history (ongoing pathology during previous births, etc.)
  • pelvic trauma
  • orthopedic diseases

Diagnosis of pelvic irregularity

  • ultrasound
  • pelvimetry
  • comparison of symphysis-promontorium distance and bilateral head diameter (at least 2 cm difference)

Soft tissue irregularities

These are often developmental defects, old age of the mother, anatomical changes due to cancer, etc.
