Retroflexion of the uterus. Artwork of the organs in a woman's lower abdomen showing retroflexion of the uterus. The normal position of the uterus is shown as a white outline (upper centre). Here,the uterus is displaced towards her back (retro- version) and is also bent backwards (retroflexion) as well. Although this condition may occur naturally (such as after childbirth),it can be a symptom of an underlying disorder,such as a tumour or pelvic inflammatory disease. If it occurs naturally,there are usually no symptoms. If caused by a disease,however,it may cause painful periods and intercourse,and even infertility | |
