Answer 1

Dear me some people do like to scaremonger and make you feel like an alien with their answers don't they!

This condition is called a retroverted uterus and over 20% of women suffer from this worldwide so it's very common to say the least. It is said to only very rarely cause fertility problems however for peace of mind ask your doctor because everybody is different.

Here is some more information for you.

This is all the info I could find about uterus,

The uterus or womb is the major female reproductive organ of most mammals, including humans. One end, the cervix, opens into the vagina; the other is connected on both sides to the fallopian tubes.

Under normal circumstances the uterus is both "anteflexed" and "anteverted". The meaning of these terms are described below:

Distinction More common Less common
Position tipped "anteverted": tipped forward "retroverted": tipped backwards
Position of fundus "anteflexed": the fundus is pointing forward relative to the cervix "retroflexed": the fundus is pointing backwards

A retroverted uterus (tilted uterus, tipped uterus) is a uterus that is tilted backwards instead of forwards. This is in contrast to the slightly "anteverted" uterus that most women have, which is tipped forward toward the bladder, with the anterior end slightly concave.

One in three to five women (depending on the source) has a retroverted uterus, which is tipped backwards towards the spine.

Uterin position has effect on fertility. A tipped uterus will usually right itself during the 10th to 12th week of pregnancy.

If a uterus does not right itself, it may be labeled persistent. "Persistent retroflexion of the pregnant uterus is incompatible with advanced pregnancy. If spontaneous or artificial reposistion does not occur, the patient either aborts or develops symptoms caused by incarceration of the uterus before the end of the fourth month. In exceptional instances, however, pregnancy may proceed, resulting in uterine sacculation. Spontaneous delivery is impossible, and rupture of the uterus may occur."[1]

Treatment options are rarely needed, and include exercises, a pessary, manual repostioning, and surgery.
.
Prolapse literally means "To fall out of place." In medicine, prolapse is a condition where organs, such as the uterus, fall down or slip out of place. It is generally reserved for organs protruding through the vagina, or for the misalignment of the valves of the heart.

Prolapse of the uterus or vagina Occurs when ligaments and muscles which hold uterus and vagina in place become weak or slack with age or as result of childbirth, allowing uterus to bulge into vagina and press on bladder or rectum; this causes a heavy, uncomfortable feeling in lower abdomen generally, backache, Stress incontinence or difficulty emptying bladder, or straining and discomfort when passing stools.

If prolapse is complete, a large part of the vagina or uterus may actually protrude through vaginal opening, causing soreness or ulceration and encouraging infection. Surgery to tighten pelvic floor may be necessary if exercises do not restore muscle tone; a ring pessary, fitted behind pubic bone, may be advised if person is elderly. If symptoms are not too severe, homeopathic remedies below may be of benefit; if there is no improvement within a week or two, see your homeopath.

Retroversion of the uterus In 20 per cent of women uterus lies close to rectum rather than just behind bladder; this is perfectly natural, and has no effect on conception, carrying a baby, or giving birth, but a few women experience backache because of it, especially during periods, or find that deep penetration during intercourse causes pain because penis strikes an ovary (see Painful intercourse). Uterus can be repositioned temporarily by inserting a device called a ring pessary into the vagina, or permanently by an operation called a ventrosuspension. See Painful intercourse for suitable homeopathic remedies.


I hope this helps

My wife went through having a baby recently and she was worried about her body working as well-that being said, it is really hard to answer that question w/o more info. Also, my sister was concerned about cramps during her first tri of pregnancy. Now, at 18 weeks the baby is doin' great. You just gotta believe it will work out!

Answer 4

My doctor told me my uterus was turned around too. His response was that when I get pregnant, it will turn around the right way, so he said not to worry. I don't know if he's right, but that's what I was told.

Answer 8

YOu have a tipped uterous. And why didin't you ask the doctor these questions. Yes, it might be making it hard to get pregnant. Talk to your doc about your options.

One suggestion is.....if you know you are ovulating and you have had sex. Stay in bed with your hips tipped or elevated in a way that is conducive to getting pregnant.

Be sure and discuss this with your doctor.
