What does a retroverted uterus mean?

For each of us. Our uterus has different morphological and structural characteristics, but they are generally the same. However, each person has his or her own characteristics. For example, the influence of acquired history or environment will affect the development and formation of the uterus. So it's generally normal. So let's take a look at what it means when the uterus is retroverted.

In medicine, the position of the uterus is described by anteverted uterus, median uterus and retroverted uterus. Retroverted uterus is an abnormal position of the uterus that can make it difficult for a woman to conceive. The retroverted uterus includes retroverted uterus and retroflexed uterus. Retroverted uterus refers to the vertical displacement of the entire uterus backwards, causing the cervix to tilt upwards. If there is no abnormality in the cervix and only the position of the uterus moves backwards, it is called retroflexion of the uterus.

In fact, in many cases, retroverted uterus is a normal phenomenon, but when it is serious, you should consider going to the hospital for treatment, because the retroverted uterus at this time may be caused by gynecological diseases.

Currently, the causes of retroverted uterus are as follows: Inflammation. If the internal organs of the uterus become infected and cause inflammation, the uterus will cause adhesions to the rectal tissues, and the uterus will be "dragged" backwards, rendering it unable to move and resulting in a retroverted uterus. Some women have developmental problems and their sexual organs are not fully developed, which causes the uterine ligaments to relax. The uterus may then "sway" backwards uncontrollably, resulting in a retroverted uterus. In addition, many women now choose to have an abortion after an unexpected pregnancy, and if the abortion is not repaired, the uterus may also tilt backwards.

The uterus is located in the middle of the pelvic cavity, between the bladder and the rectum. The normal uterus of an adult is mostly in a slightly anteverted or anteflexed posture. Anteversion means that the axis of the uterus and the axis of the vagina are open forward, and anteflexion is the curvature between the uterine body and the cervix. Retroverted uterus is also a common uterine position in clinical practice, including retroverted uterus and retroflexed uterus. If the longitudinal axis of the uterus remains unchanged, the entire uterus will tilt backwards, causing the cervix to be upturned, which is called retroverted uterus. If the cervix is ​​in a normal position and only the uterine body falls backwards, it is called uterine retroflexion. Depending on the degree of retroversion of the uterus, the retroverted uterus is divided into grades I, II, and III. Retroverted uterus is usually a normal phenomenon, but some cases may be associated with gynecological diseases.
