What is retroverted uterus?

Patient's question:

Sure, I can help with that. Please provide the content you would like translated.

Doctor's answer:

Under normal circumstances, the uterus is located in the center of the pelvis in an anterior tilt position. The entire cervix and uterus resemble a pair of scales, with the fulcrum at the cervix. If the uterus is in an anterior tilt position, the cervix moves downward and backward, which is beneficial for the early development of the embryo into a fetus after mating. This is because after sexual intercourse, semen accumulates in the posterior fornix of the vagina, causing the downward-pointing cervix to be immersed in semen, facilitating the movement of sperm into the uterine cavity and promoting pregnancy. Conversely, when the cervix is in a posterior tilt or retroverted position, it adopts an upward-arching state. During sexual intercourse, if the woman adopts a supine position, the cervix is relatively far from the semen and is less likely to be immersed in it, thereby affecting pregnancy.
