Patient's question:
The doctor said my uterus is retroverted. Which position is best for conception during intercourse?Doctor's answer:
To the posterior position of the uterus is often related to sleeping posture. Women who have experienced miscarriage or have long been sleeping in a supine position are prone to developing a posterior uterus. If one persistently adopts a prone sleeping position or a chest-knee side-lying position, the position of the uterus can be corrected. This method can help completely eliminate rectal stimulation symptoms caused by a posterior uterus.Suggestions:
① Elevating the hips after intercourse: During or after intercourse, place a pillow under the woman's hips to position her in a head-low, hip-high posture. This allows semen to accumulate in the posterior fornix, immersing the cervix in the semen pool, which is beneficial for conception.
② Lying prone or kneeling behind the partner during intercourse: This allows semen to accumulate in the anterior fornix of the vagina, making it easier for the elevated cervix to be immersed in semen.
③ Uterine round ligament shortening surgery or uterine suspension surgery: The effectiveness of these surgeries is uncertain, and recurrence can occur several years later. Currently, these methods are generally not recommended.
④ Uterine pessary correction: Some women may first be manually to a anterior uterine position, followed by the short-term use of a uterine pessary, which can provide temporary correction.
