Patient's question:
Is it better for the uterus to be anteverted or retroverted? The last time I had an abortion, the doctor said my uterus was anteverted, but this time when I was preparing for medication abortion at another hospital, the doctor said my uterus was retroverted. What's going on? Are these two different hospitals?Doctor's answer:
The main harm of retroverted and retroflexed uterine position is that it affects a woman's fertility. When the cervix is in a retroverted and retroflexed position, it adopts an upward-tilted state. During sexual intercourse, if the woman adopts a supine position, the cervix is relatively far from the semen, making it difficult for it to be immersed in the semen, thereby affecting fertility.
