What are the dangers of retroverted uterus?

The female uterus in the pelvic cavity is divided into anterior, middle and posterior, and can be tilted or flexed. Under normal circumstances, the position of the uterus is tilted and anteroflexed, while some people have a retroverted and retroflexed uterus. If the uterus is retroverted or retroflexed, it will affect the female's pregnancy. The retroverted and retroflexed uterus is an upward state, so it generally affects the female's pregnancy and causes harm to the female body. If the uterus is retroverted or retroflexed and you want to get pregnant, you must use reasonable methods to conceive.

The main reasons for a retroverted uterus are:

1. Due to congenital maldevelopment of the uterus, the uterine ligaments become loose, causing the bottom of the uterus to tilt backwards or to the left or right.

2. Multiple abortions or failure to maintain good care after abortions can cause the uterus to tip backwards.

3. Inflammation of the uterus, fallopian tubes or ovaries causes tissue adhesion between the uterine body and the rectum behind it, causing the uterus to move out of its original position and tilt backwards under traction. A posterior or retroflexed uterus can easily cause the cervix to be in an upturned position, making it difficult for the cervix to be immersed in the semen pool and affecting conception.

Remedies for retroverted uterus: Remedies can be taken when you want to get pregnant with a retroverted uterus. The methods are:

① Raise the buttocks after sexual intercourse: Place a pillow under the woman's buttocks during or after sexual intercourse, so that the woman is in a position with her head low and her buttocks high. This will allow semen to accumulate in the posterior fornix and the cervix to be immersed in the semen pool, which is beneficial to conception.

② Lie prone after sexual intercourse or kneel on your back during intercourse, so that the semen can accumulate in the anterior vault of the vagina, making it easy for the upturned cervix to be soaked in semen.

③Uterine round ligament shortening or uterine suspension: The effect of this type of surgery is uncertain and may recur after several years. This method is currently not recommended.

④ Pessary correction method: Some women can first use manual manipulation to reduce the uterus to anterior position, and then place a pessary for a short period of time, which can play a temporary corrective role.

Methods to prevent retroverted uterus: Pay attention to physical exercise at ordinary times, especially to strengthen the tension of various pairs of ligaments and pelvic floor muscles in the pelvic cavity through exercise, and try not to let them relax. At the same time, you should develop good habits of urination and defecation, avoid overfilling the bladder, and avoid frequent increases in abdominal pressure due to habitual constipation. To avoid chronic bronchitis, which causes downward force when coughing, it is best to sleep in a side-lying position to prevent the uterus from falling backwards due to gravity.
