The uterus is sometimes anterior and sometimes posterior

It goes without saying that the uterus plays an important role as a reproductive organ in the female body, so in daily life, female friends must pay attention to protecting the uterus. Although most women believe that the position of the uterus is fixed, clinical medical research has shown that the position of the uterus changes as women age. What happens if a woman's uterus is sometimes anterior and sometimes posterior?

Is there a difference between anterior and posterior uterus?

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.

An anteverted uterus does not cause any harm to women. But the retroverted uterus should pay attention to:

1. Actively correct the retroverted uterus. Insist on lying on your side, back, or kneeling 2-3 times a day, each time for half an hour, to give the uterus a chance to lean forward and flex. During menstruation, you should also lie prone once a day because the uterus is slightly softer, which helps it to tilt forward. If the retroverted uterus is more serious, you should often do the knee-chest position, that is, kneel perpendicular to the ground, and your waist should be bent downward instead of arched upward, for about 15 minutes each time.

2. During sexual intercourse, the woman should place a cushion or a small pillow of appropriate thickness under her buttocks to raise her buttocks so that the ejaculated semen can be concentrated on the posterior fornix of the vagina. The woman should continue to raise her buttocks and lie in bed for 20-30 minutes. At the same time, the woman should not urinate within half an hour after ejaculation to prevent the semen from flowing out, so that the cervix can fully contact with the semen, thereby increasing the probability of sperm entering the uterine cavity.

3. When having sex, the man should be in the back position while the woman should be kneeling on her stomach, which is also conducive to the storage of semen injected into the vagina in the vault.

What are the effects of anterior-posterior 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.
