Does a backward uterus affect conception?

Nowadays, both parties will go for a premarital check-up before getting married. Many women will find out that their uterus is located backwards at this time. The doctor will clearly tell them that the backward uterus will affect conception. But don't worry, a backward uterus only reduces the possibility of pregnancy, and the position of the uterus can also be adjusted by sleeping position. This article introduces relevant knowledge and methods to adjust the position of the uterus. If you have this problem, take a look.

1. Does retroverted uterus affect conception?

When the uterus is in a posterior position, the cervix is ​​in a forward and upward position, and the cervical opening is not easily immersed in semen, so the chance of conception is significantly reduced. A retroverted uterus generally does not affect sexual life, but it may affect pregnancy. If you are planning to get pregnant, you can try having sex during ovulation. It is best to go to the hospital on the tenth day after your period to monitor the development of the follicles. If the follicles are developing well, you can take the opportunity to have sex.

2. How to correct retroverted uterus

The cause of retroverted uterus is often related to sleeping posture. Women who have had a miscarriage or sleep in their supine position for a long time are prone to retroverted uterus. If these women insist on sleeping in the prone position or the chest-knee side-lying position for a long time, the position of the uterus can be corrected. This method can be cured without special treatment, and the rectal irritation symptoms caused by the retroverted uterus can completely disappear.

3. How to get pregnant with a retroverted uterus

1. Raise the buttocks after sexual intercourse: Place a pillow under the woman's buttocks during or after sexual intercourse, so that the woman is in a position with her head low and her buttocks high. This allows the semen to accumulate in the posterior fornix, soaking the cervix in the semen pool, which is beneficial to conception.

2. Lie prone after sexual intercourse or kneel from behind during sexual intercourse: the semen will accumulate in the anterior vault of the vagina, making it easy for the upturned cervix to be soaked in semen.

3. Shortening of the round ligament of the uterus or uterine suspension: The effect of this type of surgery is uncertain and the disease may recur after a few years. Currently, this method is not recommended.

4. Pessary correction method: Some women can first use manual manipulation to reduce the uterus to anterior position, and then place a pessary for a short period of time, which can play a temporary corrective role.
