What are the palpable landmarks for identifying the borders of the perineum in both men and women?

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

The four palpable landmarks for identifying the borders of the perineum are the pubic symphysis, coccyx, and the ischial tuberosities (one in each side). These landmarks are found in both males and females, although the perineum area is larger in women due to the wider pelvic opening.

Posterior superior and inferior iliac spines lie beyond the area of the perineum, and therefore are not used as landmarks for this identification purpose.
