uterus that is flexed severely forward or backward.
A condition in which a woman's uterus is tilted backward toward the intestine instead of forward. Also called "tipped uterus" and usually does not cause any gynecological concerns.
A uterus that lies more towards the back than the front. Retroversion of the uterus may be normal and, of itself, this is not a cause of infertility; rarely it can repeatedly get in the way during sex and cause pain, in which case there are operations available to bring it forward, out of the way. Retroversion can also develop from scarring caused by endometriosis, in which case there can be pain with sex (dyspareunia) and infertility (caused by the endometriosis).
In 20 percent of women, the top of the uterus is tilted toward the back instead of the front. In most cases, the uterus rights itself by the end of the first trimester.
Also known as tipped womb, this is a condition where the uterus tilts toward the back.

A retroverted uterus (tilted uterus, tipped uterus) is a uterus that is tilted backwards instead of forwards. This is in contrast to the slightly "anteverted" uterus that most women have, which is tipped forward toward the bladder, with the anterior end slightly concave.
