Paracolpium
The paracolpium (from ancient Greek κόλπος kólpos, sheath ') describes the connective tissue in which the vagina is embedded in the pelvic cavity. It is a compression of the inner pelvic fascia , which stretches the vagina between the urinary bladder and rectum . If the paracolpium is weak, a vaginal prolapse can occur.
