Answer 2

"Tipped uterus" is the term used to describe a uterus that is tilted backwards away from the belly. The condition is also referred to as a retroverted uterus or tilted uterus. All three terms are interchangeable. The uterus is normally suspended in a straight up and down position or slightly forward toward the belly. A tipped uterus is usually something you are born with, but can be caused by labor while giving birth or by disease. It occurs in approximately 20% of women.

Can a tipped uterus prevent pregnancy?
Typically a tipped uterus is only thought to be the cause of infertility after all other possible reasons for fertility problems have been ruled out. Your doctor might recommend a uterine suspension or UPLIFT procedure if there is no other explanation for your fertility problems. However, this is not common.

How can a tipped uterus affect my pregnancy?
Usually between the 10th -12th week of pregnancy, your uterus will no longer be tipped or "backwards." This should cause no difficulty for the pregnancy or for labor and birth. If the uterus does not move into a "middle" position, miscarriage can occur, but this is very rare.

Answer 3

Retroversion is a description of the position of the uterus in the pelvis. The most common position is for the long axis of the uterus to lie in approximately the same axis as the pelvis, that is, with the upper part tilted forward and the lower end, the cervix, inserted into the top of the vagina. There is therefore an angle between the uterus and the vagina, the long axis of which corresponds to the lower part of the pelvis.

With a retroverted uterus the long axis is much closer to that of the vagina; the uterus tilts backwards. In the vast majority of women this isn’t a problem, although when you do conceive it would be sensible to mention it to your Obstetrician and Midwife.

Answer 4

I have a retroverted uterus, it's heart shaped. I was still able to have children. The first child I had naturally but it was very difficult and the doctor handling the childbirth did permanent damage to my pelvic floor for which I've recently had to have a pelvic floor reconstruction. I had two more children caeserian because they were breech, which makes sense because of the heart shaped uterus - they were sideways instead of upside down.

Answer 5

It just means the your uterus is pointing back instead of front. Mine does that and I have 3 children. It makes it harder for the doctor to find your uterus that way but everything is fine. I have painful pains durning sex sometimes but it is nothing serious
