Patient's question:
My sister wants to askShe has been married for almost two years, got pregnant last year but didn't know beforehand that she had taken sulfonamide cold medicine, which caused a miscarriage. She used medication-induced abortion, and her uterus is slightly retroverted. But now she wants to have a child again, but she just can't get pregnant. Her ovulation period and menstruation are normal. Hope for a reply!!!!
Doctor's answer:
Friend, hello:The position of the uterus in the pelvic cavity can be divided into anterior uterus, midline uterus, and posterior uterus. Generally, an anterior uterus has a higher chance of conception, while a posterior uterus has a lower chance. This is because the cervix of an anterior uterus points downward toward the posterior fornix of the vagina, and its position in the body is lower, making it easier for semen to concentrate there. Therefore, after sexual intercourse, the cervix is easily soaked in semen, which facilitates the passage of sperm through the cervix to meet the egg and achieve conception. In contrast, the cervix of a posterior uterus is arched upward, pointing toward the anterior fornix of the vagina, making it less likely to be soaked in semen. This is especially true if the amount of semen is insufficient or if the woman urinates immediately after intercourse, causing semen to flow out, making it difficult for sperm to enter the cervix and conceive.
In fact, the position of the uterus is often related to sleeping posture. Women who have had miscarriages or have long-term supine sleeping habits are more prone to posterior uterine positions. If these women persist in prone sleeping or side-lying positions with knees tucked in for a long time, they can correct the position of their uterus. This method does not require special treatment and can be cured, and the rectal irritation symptoms caused by posterior uterine positions can be completely eliminated. Clinically, we recommend this simple and effective method to most women with posterior uteruses. After adopting this method for a period of time, many women have achieved their desire to have children.
Additionally, if the position of the uterus in a woman with a posterior uterus is not corrected, there are two methods she can use to conceive: First, after sexual intercourse, the woman should immediately change her sleeping position to a prone position and sleep for half an hour. This can help direct the flow of semen toward the anterior fornix of the vagina.
