Anteverted Womb: Does It Pose Dangers To Fertility?

Anteverted Womb:  Does It Pose Dangers To Fertility?
March 24, 2023InfertilityPregnancy

Anteverted Womb

An anteverted womb is a natural variation, much like having a certain eye colour. A person’s womb can also be tilted backward. This is less common and is called a retroverted womb. Having an anteverted womb does not impede with fertility.

This piece focuses on anteverted womb, how uterine tilt is tested, and what it means for fertility.

MEDICAL CONSULTANTS REVEALED HOW MEN CAN NATURALLY AND PERMANENTLY CURE POOR ERECTION, SMALL AND SHAMEFUL MANHOOD, AND INFERTILITY ISSUES WITHOUT SIDE EFFECTS. STOP THE USE OF HARD DRUG FOR SEX! IT KILLS!!!..
The womb or uterus is the pear-shaped organ in a woman’s lower abdomen in which fetus grow.

It is also called the womb.The womb is connected to the ovaries, which produce eggs.

When a woman ovulates, an egg travels down toward the womb via the fallopian tubes.

The womb is attached to the walls of the pelvis by flexible ligaments that allow it to tilt forward and backward.

Anteverted Womb Rate

An anteverted womb is common, occurring in around 75 percent of women. It means that the womb is tipped forward toward the bladder. How far forward the womb tips varies between two individuals.

It does not affect the structure of the womb and is not an abnormality or health condition. Having an anteverted womb does not interfere with reproduction or have an impact on a woman’s health.

The womb is tipped backward the remaining 25 percent of the time. This is called a tipped, tilted, or retroverted womb and can sometimes cause problems during pregnancy.

Causes

An anteverted womb is a natural genetic variation, much like eye or hair colour.

Anteverted womb and fertility

Infertility affects about one in every six couples in the United States. The cause of infertility can be a problem with the male or female reproductive system or both.

Problems with the female reproductive system account for only approximately 50 percent of infertility cases.

An anteverted womb is normal and not usually the cause of fertility issues. Problems with ovulation, the cervix, or the fallopian tubes are the most common causes of female infertility.

Other things that can affect a woman’s fertility include; a previous infection, polyps, endometriosis, fibroids, scar tissue or adhesions, chronic illness, a previous ectopic (tubal) pregnancy and a uterine birth abnormality.

A retroverted womb can, however, sometimes cause issues during pregnancy. Symptoms may include; lower abdominal and pelvic pain; lower back pain as well as gastrointestinal symptoms, such as constipation.

Pregnancy starts with a retroverted womb around 15 per cent of the time. The womb tends to move into an upward position on its own by the 14th week of pregnancy, but sometimes it stays in the same place and can get “wedged” in the pelvic cavity as it grows.

A Retroverted Womb

A retroverted womb or uterus means that the uterus is tipped backward so that it aims towards the rectum instead of forward towards the belly. Some women may experience symptoms including painful sex. In most cases, a retroverted uterus won’t cause any problems during pregnancy.

Causes Of Retroverted Womb

Weakening of the pelvic muscles: After menopause or childbirth, the ligaments supporting the uterus can become lax or weakened. As a result, the uterus falls in a backward or tipped position.

Enlarged Womb: An enlarged uterus due to pregnancy, fibroids, or a tumour can also cause the uterus to become tilted.

Impact on sex and sexual health

Having an anteverted womb is the most common variation in uterine position. It does not affect sex life or sexual health.

Symptoms Of Anteverted Womb

An ultrasound may determine the tilt of the womb.

Unless a doctor suspects it is causing a problem, it is common for most women not to know if their womb is anteverted or retroverted.

A pelvic exam or ultrasound can be carried out to determine the tilt of the womb. An initial pelvic exam may include all or some of the following:

Vulval examination: This test will check the genitals for evidence of external bleeding or signs of infection, such as vaginal discharge.

Speculum examination: A medical instrument is inserted to allow a doctor to examine the vagina and the cervix to be examined.

Bimanual palpation: A doctor or specialized nurse will use their fingers to examine the inside of the vagina and feel if the womb or ovaries are tender or enlarged.

Treatment

An anteverted womb is perfectly normal and is not considered a health condition. It requires no treatment.

If a woman is concerned about her fertility or has a family history of a retroverted womb causing problems during pregnancy, she can speak to her doctor about fertility tests and checking the tilt of the womb.

Conclusion

An anteverted womb simply means the uterus or womb is tilted forward. It is normal and is not considered to be a health condition.

The majority of women have an anteverted womb. It does not have any impact on a person’s sex life, menstrual cycle, or fertility.
