Introverted Uterus-what Does It Really Mean? by Vanije: 8:45pm On Feb 20, 2015
A uterus is the pear-shaped organ where the foetus grows- it is present in every woman of child-bearing age. The uterus is normally supposed to be in a straight vertical position.

However, an introverted uterus however is an abnormal gynecological condition where the uterus is positioned toward the back of the pelvis or spine. That is, it points inward instead of pointing out.

While the cervix(which is the opening of the uterus )remains in position, the actual ‘body’ of the uterus lies unusually

**OTHER MEDICAL LANGUAGES STILL REFERRING TO THIS CONDITION ARE:**

Retroflexed uterus

Tilted uterus

Backward uterus

Retroverted uterus

Tilted womb

Uterine retroversion

Uterine retroflexion

Retroversion of the uterus

Symptomatic uterine retroversion

Symptomatic uterine retroflexion

Uterine retrodisplacement

Reflexion of the uterus

So, when your doctors says any of those, he still refers to the condition described in the introduction.

**NOW, WHAT ACTUALLY CAUSES AN INTROVERTED UTERUS?**

*Childbirth: If the ligaments holding the uterus in place stretch, or lose their tension during pregnancy, the uterus can become tipped.

*As a woman matures too, the uterus may not move into a forward position.

*Scarring from surgical adhesions of endometriosis or fibroid can also cause the uterus to shift to a retroflexed state.
