17
Q

Functions of the pelvic floor (2)

A

18
Q

What 2 muscles make up the pelvic floor

A
  1. Coccygeus

2. Levator ani: pubococcygeus, iliococcygeus, puborectalis

19
Q

Innervation of the pelvic floor and what origin

A

20
Q

What is a 1) cystocele and 2) rectocele

A

1) anterior vaginal prolapse where bladder has prolapsed

Q

Why perform an episiotomy?

A

To minimise extensive tears to the vagina

23
Q

Why mediolateral episiotomy instead of midline?

A

Superior
