What does posterior cervix mean?

In daily life, female friends are often "entangled" by various symptoms, among which cervical abnormalities are very common, especially conditions like posterior cervix, which are also common among women of childbearing age and may affect their health. What does a posterior cervix mean? What are the harms of a posterior cervix? Let’s take a closer look below!

What does a posterior cervix mean?

First of all, the position of a woman's cervix can be divided into three types: anterior, middle, and posterior. The so-called posterior cervix refers to the position of the cervix close to the posterior wall of the vagina, mainly toward the posterior fornix of the vagina. Generally speaking, the posterior cervix is ​​easier to get pregnant, but it may also bring some risks to women. Therefore, as a woman, you must know more about the relevant issues, so that when the problem arises, you can respond promptly and solve it as soon as possible.

So what harm does a posterior cervix cause?

(1) Causes menstrual pain

When the cervix is ​​retroverted, its position will be higher than the uterine body. This situation will cause the menstrual blood in the uterine cavity to be unable to be discharged completely. When the menstrual blood accumulates in the uterine cavity, it is easy to aggravate uterine contractions, which will cause menstrual pain. In such a case, female friends are advised to pay attention to taking relevant measures to make their bodies more comfortable during menarche and avoid menstrual cramps.

(2) Excessive menstruation

A retroverted cervix can cause the cervix to fall backwards, which can easily cause the fallopian tubes on both sides of the uterus and ovaries to relax backwards and downwards. Mutations in the position of the fallopian tubes can cause pelvic vein tortuosity, poor blood flow, pelvic venous congestion, menorrhagia, abdominal pain, back pain, and some women may also experience symptoms such as pain during sexual intercourse.

The above is a brief introduction to what a posterior cervix means. Although the position of a woman's cervix cannot be changed, you should still pay more attention to it in your daily life. Only in this way can you ensure your own health.
