Is ectopic pregnancy more likely with retroverted uterus?

The uterus of many women is located backwards, which is not a good thing for some women. Because when women first start menstruating, if the uterus is located backwards, their menstrual blood will have some difficulty in being discharged from the body. At this time, women will feel abdominal pain. In addition, it is not easy for men to conceive if their sexual organs are relatively short. So is a backward uterus prone to ectopic pregnancy?

Is retroverted uterus more likely to cause ectopic pregnancy?

The normal position of the uterus is forward-tilted and anteflexed. In a few women, the cervix tilts backward and downward, making the uterus anteflexed. Because the cervix is ​​in a forward and upward position, the cervical opening is not easily immersed in semen, the chance of conception is significantly reduced, and the chance of pregnancy is significantly reduced. Some people worry that a retroverted uterus may cause an ectopic pregnancy. Experts point out that this statement is completely unfounded and there is no connection between a retroverted uterus and an ectopic pregnancy.

Under normal circumstances, a woman's uterus is slightly tilted forward. If the uterus is in the forward position and the cervix is ​​downward and backward, it is conducive to the early development of the fertilized egg into a fetus after marriage. When the uterus is in the anteverted position, as semen accumulates in the posterior fornix of the vagina, the downward cervix is ​​immersed in semen, which facilitates the movement of sperm into the uterine cavity and facilitates pregnancy. On the contrary, when the cervix is ​​in a retroverted or retroflexed position, the cervix will be in an upturned position. The cervix is ​​far away from the semen and is not easily soaked in semen, thus affecting pregnancy.

Pregnancy and proper contraception are very important to avoid ectopic pregnancy. Choose a time when both parties are in a good mood and physical condition to get pregnant. If you are not considering becoming a mother for the time being, you must take good contraceptive measures. Good contraception fundamentally prevents the occurrence of ectopic pregnancy.

How to treat retroverted uterus

1. To 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 tilt forward. You should also lie prone once a day during menstruation, because the uterus is slightly softer at this time, 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. Correct sexual posture: 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. Generally speaking, a retroverted uterus can cause female infertility. Paying attention to posture during intercourse will help sperm enter the female body and increase the pregnancy rate. For women with a retroverted uterus, you can put a pillow under your buttocks after intercourse to help sperm ascend.

3. Remedial method: 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. 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.
