Is the uterus on the left or right side?

Speaking of the uterus, female friends are not unfamiliar with it. The uterus is a reproductive organ unique to women. Humans undergo menstruation, ovulation, and fetal development through the uterus. This shows how important the uterus is. People generally know that the uterus is located in the female abdomen, but it is not well understood whether the uterus is on the left or right side. In fact, the uterus is located in the center of the pelvic cavity, with an ovary on each side of the uterus.

1. Uterus

(the organ that produces menstruation and nurtures the fetus)

The uterus is the organ that produces menstruation and nurtures the fetus. It is located in the center of the pelvic cavity, between the bladder and the rectum. The size of the uterus is related to age and fertility. For nulliparous women, it is approximately 7.5 cm long, 5 cm wide, and 3 cm thick. The uterus can be divided into three parts: the fundus, the body, and the neck. The uterine cavity is an inverted triangle, about 6 cm deep, with the two upper corners being the "uterine horns" that lead to the fallopian tubes. The narrow lower end is called the "isthmus", which is about 1 cm long. The isthmus gradually expands during pregnancy and forms the lower uterine segment at the time of delivery.

The ratio of the uterine body to the cervix varies with age, being 1:2 in infancy, 1:1 in adolescence, and 2:1 during the reproductive period. The uterus is normally slightly curved forward, with the anterior wall lying prone on the bladder and almost at right angles to the vagina. Its position may change with the degree of fullness of the bladder and rectum. The uterine wall is composed of three layers from outside to inside: serosa, muscle layer and mucosa (i.e. endometrium).

2. Does the left-leaning uterus affect pregnancy?

If the uterus is tilted to the left and is in the anterior position, it will not have any effect on pregnancy. Since the sizes of the uterus are different, if there are no other abnormalities, it will not have any effect on the normal pregnancy of the gestational sac. Therefore, if the uterus is just tilted to the left and there are no other abnormalities, it will not affect pregnancy.

3. Which uterine diseases affect pregnancy?

1. If a tumor grows in the uterus, it will cause infertility or miscarriage. The most common ones are endometrial polyps and uterine fibroids.

2. Congenital uterine hypoplasia. If the uterus is congenitally malformed, underdeveloped or has an immature uterus, it will affect the combination of egg and sperm, thus affecting pregnancy.

3. The uterus is in an abnormal position. The abnormal position of the uterus affects pregnancy, such as retroversion and retroflexion of the uterus or the cervix pointing forward and upward.

4. Inflammation of the uterus. If the endometrium is inflamed, it may also cause infertility, such as endometriosis or tuberculous endometritis.

5. If the uterus is small, it will have a certain impact on pregnancy, because a small uterus will cause the uterus to be unable to store and transport sperm and semen normally, making women unable to become pregnant, so there will be an impact on pregnancy.

Does a uterus tilted to the left affect pregnancy? If the uterus tilts to the left but there are no other abnormal conditions, it will not affect pregnancy. The specific uterine diseases that have an impact on pregnancy have been listed above. I hope these contents can help everyone, and I wish you can get pregnant with Baoding soon.
