Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of coldness. Please ask about the position for conceiving with an retroverted uterusDoctor's answer:
In the case of a retroverted uterus, measures can be taken to facilitate pregnancy. The methods include:① Post-coital hip elevation: Place a pillow under the woman's hips during or after intercourse to position her in a head-low, hip-high posture. This allows semen to accumulate in the posterior fornix, immersing the cervix in a pool of semen, which is beneficial for conception.
② Post-coital prone position or coital position with the woman kneeling behind the man: This allows semen to accumulate in the anterior fornix of the vagina, making it easier for the retroverted cervix to be immersed in semen.
③ Uterine round ligament shortening surgery or uterine suspension surgery: The effectiveness of these surgeries is uncertain, and they may recur after several years. Currently, these methods are generally not recommended.
④ Pessary correction: Some women may first be manually to a uterus in the anterior position, followed by the short-term use of a pessary, which can provide temporary correction.
