Under physiological conditions, female internal reproductive organs such as the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries are in a semi-free state in the pelvic cavity. When used as a double gynecological consultation, the outline of the uterus can be reached. Except for those with thin abdominal walls, they can also reach the normal size ovaries Generally, the normal ovaries and fallopian tubes can not be held. These organs can move with the fingers of the examiner, and the pelvic tissues on both sides of the uterus are soft and empty.

Advanced cervical cancer spreads to the entire pelvic cavity and infiltrates the pelvic wall to both sides. The uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries are invaded and fixed. The entire pelvic cavity is hard and frozen, so it is called frozen pelvis. Acute pelvic connective tissue inflammation can also have "frozen pelvic" manifestations.
