Vesical Venous Plexus
The Vesical Venous Plexus is a network of veins located around the urinary bladder. It plays a crucial role in draining blood from the bladder and surrounding structures. This plexus connects with other venous systems, including the internal pudendal vein and the internal iliac vein, facilitating blood flow to the larger venous circulation.
This plexus is important for maintaining proper blood circulation in the pelvic region. It can also be involved in various medical conditions, such as pelvic congestion syndrome, where increased pressure in the plexus can lead to discomfort or pain. Understanding this venous network is essential for urologists and healthcare professionals.
