Patient's question:
Please ask the doctor: I had an abortion under anesthesia on January 4th, and I haven't had any bleeding since. A week later, I went for a follow-up check-up. The doctor examined me and said there was blood accumulation and also leukorrhea. However, the discharge test results were normal. I would like to ask: Is it difficult for the uterus to return to its normal position after being retroverted? What are the effects of a retroverted uterus on the body? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Hello; generally, there is no significant impact! If you have a retroverted uterus and are trying to conceive, you can take corrective measures. 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 semen pool, which facilitates conception.
② Post-coital prone position or coital posture with the woman kneeling behind the man: This helps semen 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 they may recur years later. Currently, this method is not widely recommended.
④ Pessary correction: Some women may first be manually to a normal uterine position, followed by the short-term use of a pessary, which can provide temporary correction.
