Tilted Uterus
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
A retroverted uterus, commonly known as a tilted uterus, describes a position of the uterus tilted backward, toward the back, rather than forward. It's a common anatomical variant shared by many women and, in most cases, it does not represent a health problem or affect fertility.
How it's identified: It's usually detected incidentally during a routine gynecological exam or on an imaging study, and it often produces no symptoms throughout life.
When it may cause discomfort: In some women it has been linked to pain during menstruation or sexual intercourse, though this discomfort can have many other causes and it's best not to attribute it right away to the position of the uterus.
Who to consult about it? The gynecologist is the one who assesses uterine position and clarifies its relevance in each case. If this finding concerns you or you have persistent discomfort, discussing it with this specialist allows you to resolve it with peace of mind.
