Abstract

The objective of this study was to demonstrate the differences in the urethrovesical junction angle and urethral mobility by means of perineal ultrasounds in women following vaginal delivery with respect to nulliparous women. We have enrolled 34 women, 12 nulliparous (Group A) and 22 women in the post-partum period (Group B). The ultrasounds were employed to measure the urethrovesical junction angle (“urethro-pelvic” angle) and the urethral mobility. Data obtained show that the urethro-pelvic angle is narrower in Group A (97.3°) with respect to Group B (112.5°). Urethral mobility while coughing was significantly higher in Group B (30.4°) with respect to Group A (−2°). This study demonstrates the difference in the urethral support at rest and during cough in nulliparous versus recently delivered parous women.
