suprapubic
Over the bladder
Suprapubic means above the pubic bone.
The term appears in medical contexts describing anatomy or procedures in the lower abdominal region: a suprapubic catheter enters the bladder through the abdominal wall rather than the urethra; suprapubic pain occurs in the area between the navel and genitals.
