This abnormal position of the ovaries may resemble the testes. This may cause the ovaries to descend through the inguinal canal into the labia majora. In some rare cases, the gubernaculum may fail to adhere to the uterus.
The broad ligament contains the round ligament, the fallopian tube, arteries, veins, lymphatics, nerve fibers and loose connective tissue. The medial side of the broad ligament is attached to the lateral side of the uterus on each side. The round ligament is covered by folded peritoneum and comprises the superior margin of the broad ligament on each side of the uterus. Each round ligament is about 10 to 12 centimeters long. There are 2 round ligaments, one on each side of the uterus. From the cornu of the uterus, the round ligament crosses the pelvis through the deep inguinal ring which then traverses the inguinal canal and then enters the labia majora, where it terminates with its fibers blending into the mons pubis. This attachment with the uterus is at the cornu of the uterus. One side of the round ligament is attached to the superior and lateral aspect of the uterus. The round ligament of the uterus is fibro-muscular connective tissue.
