Does a posterior uterus affect infertility?

Many female friends do not know much about the position of their uterus. They just know that the uterus is important for nurturing babies, but they do not know that the position of the uterus is also crucial to the birth of the baby. In many medical examinations, the posterior position of the uterus will appear in many examination reports. It must be said that some doctors have bad intentions and deliberately fill in such names in the reports, but female friends should also pay attention to the position of their uterus from now on.

The position of the uterus is divided into anterior, middle and posterior positions. The posterior uterus is a normal position of the uterus, but it is excessively flexed and tilted backwards, making it difficult to get pregnant. The uterus may be displaced when a group of ligaments that maintain the normal position of the uterus become loose, when there is long-term bed rest after delivery (especially supine position), when there is pelvic inflammation, uterine body tumors, congenital maldevelopment, etc. The most common of these is retroverted uterus.

For patients with symptomatic retroverted uterus, the key to treatment is to reposition the uterus. Commonly used methods of uterine reduction include bimanual reduction method, triple-manual reduction method, cervical clamp traction reduction method, chest-knee supine position reduction method, and surgical reduction method. After manual reduction, the patient is required to do chest-knee position exercises 1-2 times a day after emptying the bowels and bladder, each time for 10-15 minutes. This is crucial to consolidate the effect of uterine reduction. Chest-knee position exercises can also prevent the occurrence of posterior displacement of the uterus after delivery, but they must be performed half a month after delivery. If manual reduction is unsuccessful, surgical reduction can be used. The surgical method is mainly to shorten the round ligament and change the uterus into an anteverted and anteflexed position.

Through the simple learning above, I believe that many female friends have understood what a posterior uterus means, but this does not mean that they have lost the opportunity to conceive their own baby. They should wipe away their tears, go to the hospital for a more detailed examination, follow the doctor's arrangements, and actively take measures to restore their uterus to its normal position.
