endopelvic fascia

The uterus is held in position within the pelvis by condensations of endopelvic fascia, which are called ligaments.

Extrinsic factors - The bladder and urethra is supported by muscle (pelvic floor) and ligaments (endopelvic fascia).

It has three layers: the endopelvic fascia, the levator fasciae and muscles, and the perineal membrane/external anal sphincter.

The cardinal ligaments laterally, and the utero-sacral ligaments posteriorly provide direct and indirect support of the bladder as the endopelvic fascia (pubocervical fascia), is fixed to the cervix. (3, 4, 5)
