What does a retroverted uterus mean?

Retroverted uterus is not uncommon among women. Generally, if the uterus is anterior, the chance of pregnancy is higher, but if it is posterior, conception will be more difficult. The position of the uterus is also related to sleep habits. Lying on your back for a long time can easily lead to retroverted uterus.

1. The position of a woman's uterus in the pelvic cavity can be divided into anterior uterus, median uterus and posterior uterus. Generally speaking, the chances of conception with an anterior uterus are greater, while the chances of conception with a posterior uterus are smaller. This is because the cervix of the anterior uterus points downward toward the posterior fornix of the vagina. It is located lower in the body, and semen tends to concentrate there. Therefore, after sexual intercourse, the cervix is ​​easily soaked with semen, which is conducive to the sperm passing through the cervical opening to meet the egg and conceive; and the cervix of the posterior uterus is upward, pointing to the anterior fornix of the vagina, so the cervix is ​​not easily soaked with semen, especially when the semen is too little or the woman urinates immediately after sexual intercourse, causing the semen to flow out, which is not conducive to the sperm entering the cervical opening and making it difficult for the egg to be fertilized.

2. In fact, the position of the uterus is often related to sleeping posture. Women who have had a miscarriage or sleep on their backs for a long time are prone to retroverted uterus. If these women insist on sleeping in the prone position or the chest-knee side-lying position for a long time, the position of the uterus can be corrected. This method can be cured without special treatment, and the rectal irritation symptoms caused by the retroverted uterus can completely disappear. Clinically, we recommend this simple and easy method to most women with retroverted uterus. After they practiced for a period of time, many women realized their wish to have children.

3. In addition, if the position of the uterus of a woman with a posterior uterus is not corrected, the following two methods can be used to get pregnant: First, after the couple has sex, the woman immediately changes her sleeping position and sleeps in a prone position for half an hour, so that the semen can flow to the anterior fornix of the vagina. The second is to raise the woman's buttocks during and for a period of time after sexual intercourse so that the semen is concentrated in the dome, allowing the cervix to be soaked in semen and pregnancy can occur. Women with posterior uterus may want to try these two methods. However, in order to achieve the goal of pregnancy, it is best for the woman not to urinate immediately after sexual intercourse, otherwise it will easily cause semen to flow out and affect conception.
