The dangers of anteversion of the uterus

The position of the uterus is an issue that many people tend to overlook, especially when women are pregnant or conceiving. The position of the uterus will affect normal development. For example, if the position of the uterus is inappropriate after a woman becomes pregnant, it will directly affect fertility. Some women will find that their uterus is tilted forward during examination. In this case, they should pay attention to maintenance. So what are the dangers of a tilted uterus?

1. The normal positions of the uterus are anteverted, horizontal and posterior. An anteverted uterus is normal and poses no risk. If the uterus is too anteverted or retroflexed, menstrual blood will not come out easily and dysmenorrhea may occur. During abortion or uterine curettage, if the surgeon's skills are not very good, uterine perforation may occur. Of course, the position of the uterus does not always remain unchanged. Some people's uterus begins to bend forward or backward, and it may become tilted forward or backward after giving birth. The position of the uterus is maintained by several pairs of ligaments. If the ligaments relax, the position of the uterus will also change.

2. Uterine antevertion is the normal position of the uterus. The anteverted uterus makes the opening of the cervix face the posterior fornix of the vagina. Then when the man ejaculates in the vagina, the semen will flow to the posterior fornix of the vagina, which will facilitate the sperm to enter the cervical canal. Therefore, anterior uterus is conducive to pregnancy and fertility and does not require correction.

3. The ligament that can keep the uterus tilted forward is the main ligament. In addition to maintaining the forward tilt, it can also maintain the balance of the uterus and prevent uterine prolapse. The uterus contains a total of four pairs of ligaments, including the cardinal ligament, sacral ligament, broad ligament and round ligament. The sacral ligament and cardinal ligament are located in front and behind the cervix, and can maintain the balance of the uterus and prevent uterine prolapse. They are two important pairs of ligaments for maintaining the position of the uterus. The most important one is the cardinal ligament to maintain the anteversion of the uterus. The round ligament originates from the uterine horns on both sides, passes through the pelvic wall to the back of the pubic symphysis on both sides, and plays a role in maintaining the anteflexion of the uterus. The broad ligament maintains the balance of the uterus and prevents the uterus from tilting left or right. Each of the four pairs of ligaments is indispensable. Any abnormality in any ligament may cause the uterus to fall or prolapse.
