Table 1. Measurements of vaginal wall and cervical maximum displacement under traction.
Virgin | Parous | Pregnant | p- value | |
Ba | 0.8±0.3 | 1±0.4 | 3.3±1 | <0.05* |
Bp | 0.8±0.3 | 1±0.4 | 3.2±0.8 | <0.05* |
C | 1.5±0.9 | 1.5±0.6 | 1.6±0.8 | ns |
Data are reported as mean ± SEM in cm for n = 3 virgin and n = 6 each for parous and pregnant ewes.
*compared between virgin versus pregnant and parous versus pregnant.
Ba, reference point 3 cm proximal of the external urethral meatus of the anterior wall. Bp, reference point on the posterior wall opposite Ba. C, Cervix. Ns, not significant.
