Uterine Retroversion

Uterine retrodisplacement, also called a retroverted uterus, describes a position in which the uterus tilts backward, toward the spine, instead of forward. It is a common anatomical variant and in many women produces no symptoms.

When it may be noticed: in some cases it is associated with discomfort during menstruation, pain during sexual intercourse, or a feeling of pressure, although it often goes unnoticed.

When is it advisable to have it checked? If persistent pelvic pain or discomfort that affects your daily life appears, it is worth raising it at a visit to rule out other causes.

Who evaluates it? The gynecologist is the specialist who studies the position of the uterus and provides guidance on its meaning in each case. If you have questions about your gynecologic health, a visit with this professional can give you reassurance and clarity.
