Where Is the Anteverted Uterus?

If your doctor tells you have you an anteverted uterus, it means that your uterus tilts forward at your cervix, toward your abdomen. Most women have this type of uterus.

Is Anteverted uterus good or bad?

An anteverted uterus tilts slightly forward at the cervix, towards the belly. It isn't good or bad, it's just simply the way your uterus sits in the body. Anteverted is technically considered the “normal” position for a uterus to be in, although only about half of uteruses are oriented this way.

Does Anteverted uterus cause back pain?

Having a retroverted uterus doesn't usually affect the viability of a pregnancy. A retroverted uterus may create more pressure on your bladder during the first trimester. That may cause either increased incontinence or difficulty urinating. It can also cause back pain for some women.
