Woman unable to have child after being "too comfortable" in bed

I was chatting with a friend the other day, and she had been very distressed recently. She had been married for two years, but had been infertile. She went to the hospital for a check-up, and the result was that her uterus was retroverted. The doctor's words left her speechless. The doctor said that it was because she had been sleeping in a supine position for a long time, and she slept too comfortably, which led to a retroverted uterus and difficulty in conceiving. When she was in school, she was a strong woman and served as the president of the school's student union. She was so busy all day long that she would go to bed as soon as she got home. After graduation, she was still busy all day long and would go to bed as soon as she got home. The doctor suggested that if she wanted to get pregnant, she should change her sleeping position. Even if it was not as comfortable as before, it could adjust the position of her uterus.

Many people believe that lying on your back is the most suitable sleeping position, which will not compress the body's organs or crush the arms. However, the normal position of a woman's uterus is forward tilted and backward bent, and lying on your back for a long time may cause the uterus to be retroverted. This way, the sperm cannot enter the cervical canal and cannot fertilize the egg. Moreover, a retroverted uterus may cause dysmenorrhea, variations in the position of the ovaries and fallopian tubes, twisting of the pelvic veins, poor blood flow, pelvic venous congestion, and menorrhagia. The most ideal sleeping position for women is lying on the right side.

How should women protect their uterus?

1. Reasonable sex life

Only proper sex life can make the uterus healthier, but some women do not know how to have a reasonable sex life, or even indulge in sex life, which will hurt the uterus and cause uterine diseases.

2. Correct contraception

Miscarriage and premature birth cause the greatest damage to the uterus, especially multiple miscarriages can easily cause uterine infection, cervical or uterine adhesions, leading to secondary infertility.

3. Reduce high-fat foods

High-fat foods will promote the production and release of hormones, which may cause the formation of uterine fibroids. Stick to a low-fat diet, drink plenty of water, and avoid spicy foods, alcohol, frozen foods, etc.

4. Regular inspection

Go for regular gynecological examinations so that early detection and early treatment can be achieved.
