What is the common sense about posterior uterus?

When we hear the term posterior uterus, we can roughly understand that this is the position of the uterus during pregnancy. But we don’t know much about how this performance actually works. In order to better understand the posterior position of the uterus, we need to know the common sense about the posterior position of the uterus. So what is the common knowledge about posterior uterus? Let's see how authoritative experts answer this question.

Retroverted uterus: In medicine, when the longitudinal axis of the uterus remains unchanged and the entire uterus tilts toward the back of the vagina, it is called "retroverted uterus", which is more common clinically. When the retroverted uterus forms an acute angle with the junction of the cervix, it is called "retroverted and flexed uterus", which is less common clinically.

1. How to determine whether your uterus is anterior or posterior

Generally speaking, an ultrasound examination at the hospital can tell whether the uterus is anterior or posterior.

2. Anterior or posterior uterus is better

There are two positions of the uterus: anterior uterus and posterior uterus. The anterior uterus is generally considered to be the normal position. So, is it better for women to have an anterior or posterior uterus? Experts point out that although an anterior uterus is prone to cause placenta previa, as a normal body position, it is still better than a posterior uterus with a lower chance of pregnancy. An anteverted uterus is actually a normal uterine position, and most women have an anteverted uterus. Severe retroverted uterus may also cause symptoms such as excessive vaginal discharge, lower abdominal pain, back pain, pelvic congestion, menorrhagia, difficulty in menstrual blood discharge, anal swelling, and some women may even experience pain or discomfort during sexual intercourse.

3. How to determine the normal value of the anteroposterior position of the uterus

1. The position of a woman's uterus in the pelvic cavity can be divided into anterior uterus, median uterus and posterior uterus.

2. Under normal circumstances, the uterus is in an anteverted and anteflexed position. Anteversion: refers to the entire uterus tilting forward. Anteflexion: refers to the angle between the longitudinal axis of the uterus and the longitudinal axis of the cervix and vagina being less than 90 degrees.

3. When the uterus turns backwards toward the rectum, it is called retroverted uterus. There are two types of retroverted uterus: retroverted uterus and retroflexed uterus. When the longitudinal axis of the uterus remains unchanged and the entire uterus tilts backwards, it is called a retroverted uterus. When the uterus is tilted backwards and the junction of the uterine body and the cervix forms an acute angle, it is called a retroverted and retroflexed uterus. The former is more common, the latter is less common. Common causes are ligament relaxation, pelvic diaphragm and broad ligament bottom damage caused by multiple deliveries.

4. What are the effects of the anterior-posterior position of the uterus on the human body?

An anterior uterus will not have any impact on women, and a posterior uterus generally will not affect sexual life, but a posterior uterus may affect pregnancy. Mild retroverted uterus generally does not cause symptoms and does not require treatment. Severe retroverted uterus often causes symptoms, mainly lower back pain. In mild cases, there is only soreness and discomfort in the lower back. In severe cases, the entire waist, sacrum and coccyx, and iliac regions on both sides feel sore and uncomfortable. In some patients, the soreness and swelling extend to the lower back and groin on both sides. Lower abdominal soreness and anal distension often coexist, and symptoms are often aggravated by fatigue and menstruation. If not corrected in time, it may also lead to dysmenorrhea, irregular menstruation, increased leucorrhea, sexual discomfort, miscarriage, infertility, etc. For patients with retroverted uterus, if the retroverted uterus has not corrected itself three months after conception, the displacement of the bladder neck and urethra and the upturned cervix may compress the posterior urethra and cause acute urinary retention.

The above is an introduction to the common knowledge about the posterior position of the uterus. If problems arise in life, it is necessary to identify the causes of the problems and deal with them effectively, so as to more effectively prevent the occurrence of various diseases. In life, in addition to understanding the specific knowledge of the common sense of posterior uterus, we also need to understand the care methods of pregnant women in their lives in order to better maintain the bodies of pregnant women. Finally, I wish all pregnant women can give birth to a healthy and lovely baby!
