We can find the symphysis pubic on the anterior side of the pelvis. It’s also the anterior boundary of the perineum.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; name cannot be a simple integer.

This ring allows only some small mobility.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; name cannot be a simple integer. Use a descriptive titleCite error: Invalid <ref> tag; name cannot be a simple integer.

With children this disc is very small and the hyaline cartilage is very wide. But it evolves conversely.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; name cannot be a simple integer. Use a descriptive title With men the disc is higher, smaller and narrower.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; name cannot be a simple integer. Use a descriptive title Normally with women the symphysis pubic gap is 4-5 mm wide and it widens 2-3 mm during the last trimester of pregnancy. This is necessary to facilitate the delivery of the fetus.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; name cannot be a simple integer. Use a descriptive title In symphysis pubis dysfunction the joints become more relaxed and allow instability in the pelvic girdle. When the gap is equal to or more than 10 mm there’s a diastasis of the symphysis pubic.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; name cannot be a simple integer. Use a descriptive title
