Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A gynecoid pelvis is the most common pelvis shape in females and is typically wider at the pelvic outlet, which makes it favorable for childbirth. The pubic arch in a gynecoid pelvis may be slightly wider, and the diameter between the coccyx and ischium may be slightly longer compared to other pelvis shapes, but not to the point that it would impede childbirth. The inlet of a gynecoid pelvis may also be slightly wider.
