In women, the supravaginal portion of the cervix is separated in front from the bladder by fibrous tissue, the parametrium (called cervical stroma in some texts), which extends also on to its sides and laterally between the layers of the broad ligaments.
The uterine artery and ovarian ligament are located in the parametrium.
Inflammation causes Parametritis.[1]
