Does the position of the uterus being posterior affect pregnancy?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect my fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. Could a retroverted uterus affect pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

Mild retroverted uterus generally does not affect fertility. In severe retroverted uterus, it is recommended to place a pillow under the woman's hips during or after intercourse to position her in a head-down, hip-up posture. This allows semen to accumulate in the posterior fornix, immersing the cervix in a pool of semen, which facilitates conception.
Hello, this condition can be examined with a colposcopy. If it is menstruation, there is no need to worry. If it is cervical bleeding, it may be possible that the cervix is eroded, and regular follow-up is required.
