What are the consequences of a retroverted uterus?

An anterior uterus will not have any impact on women, but if it is a posterior uterus, you need to pay certain attention to it. It is often easy to cause back pain and leg pain, causing discomfort in the waist. It is also easy to cause increased vaginal discharge and pain during sexual intercourse. In addition, a posterior uterus is also prone to difficulty in conceiving. You should pay attention to the posterior uterus and emphasize maintenance to avoid aggravating the discomfort.

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, while in severe cases, the entire waist, sacrum and coccyx, and iliac areas 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.

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.
