What does anterior uterus mean?

The so-called advanced uterus means that the cervix of the uterus is in the posterior fornix of the vagina, that is, its position in the body is relatively low, so that semen is easily concentrated there during sexual intercourse, which helps the sperm and egg to meet and facilitate conception. Generally speaking, an anterior uterus is a normal position. If the uterus is posterior, it will generally have a certain impact on health and conception.

There are three types according to the relationship between the edge of the placenta and the cervical opening.

(1) Complete placenta previa: The placenta completely covers the internal cervical os, also known as central placenta previa.

(2) Partial placenta previa: The placenta partially covers the internal cervical os.

(3) Marginal placenta previa: The placenta is attached to the lower part of the uterus, with the lower edge reaching the edge of the internal cervical os, also known as low-lying placenta previa.

Symptoms of anterior uterus

Symptom 1

The symptoms of anterior uterus are not obvious, and female patients usually do not easily detect them. It is precisely for this reason that the inflammation is not easy to be discovered, which ultimately leads to infertility.

Symptom 2

The patient's anterior uterus is prone to placenta previa, which is one of the main causes of bleeding in late pregnancy and threatens the life safety of mother and child. It is recommended that patients with anterior uterus go to the hospital for examination to avoid adverse effects.

Symptom three

Since anterior uterus is a normal body position for women, there is no definite treatment. However, it should be noted that after sexual intercourse, semen tends to concentrate there, and the cervix is ​​easily soaked in semen, which is conducive to sperm passing through the cervical opening to meet the egg and become pregnant. Therefore, the chances of pregnancy are greater with anterior uterus.
