What is the difference between the posterior and anterior uterine walls?

The uterus is one of the most important organs for women because it is the organ for pregnancy and childbearing and plays a key role in women's fertility. The health of the uterus has a great impact on women's fertility. Once it is diseased, it may lead to infertility and so on. The uterus will also undergo some changes after pregnancy, so women should be vigilant. For example, what is the difference between the posterior wall of the uterus and the anterior wall of the uterus?

Under normal circumstances, the placenta should be attached to the body of the uterus or the fundus of the uterus. In the body of the uterus, it may be attached to the anterior wall, the posterior wall, or the side wall. This is just a difference in position. There is no difference between normal and abnormal anterior wall and posterior wall placens.

In fact, no matter whether the embryo is implanted on the anterior wall or the posterior wall of the uterus, as long as it is implanted in the uterine cavity, this is normal and there is no problem. We are worried about the location of the placenta, mainly worried that the placenta will be implanted too low, causing problems such as placenta previa and low-lying placenta. Once placenta previa occurs, the uterus may gradually enlarge and cause bleeding, leading to heavy bleeding during pregnancy, and even life-threatening in severe cases.

The anterior and posterior walls of the fetus are just different implantation points of the fertilized egg, which is a normal phenomenon. The belly will be more obvious and larger if the placenta is on the front wall. Once it is impacted by external trauma, it may be more prone to placental abruption than the placenta on the posterior wall. Therefore, you need to be cautious throughout the pregnancy. Do not do heavy physical work or strenuous exercise. When picking up things, pay attention to protect your belly to avoid squeezing and bumps. The belly is not very obvious and is relatively small on the back wall of the placenta, so it is relatively safe. Pregnant women should pay attention to get more rest, avoid overwork, avoid drinking alcohol, tea and coffee, and avoid sexual intercourse in the first 3 months and last 3 months of pregnancy. They can have appropriate sexual intercourse in the second trimester of pregnancy, but be careful not to have it too frequently.
