Abstract

Obesity is a multisystemic chronic disease, which is associated with various pelvic pathologies and abnormalities. We
suggest a novel term: pelvic obesity, which is defined as a syndrome of morphological and functional abnormalities in
the pelvic cavity and its organs that are associated with obesity and result in genitourinary, reproductive, and systemic
dysfunction. This communication enumerates the diverse aspects of pelvic obesity and elucidates the rationale for a unified,
multidisciplinary approach.
