Bend of the uterus - what does it mean
Bending of the uterus is understood as a state of the organ when the uterus is deviated from the standard position in one direction or another. Most often, this pathology is congenital, but it can also be acquired.
There are several positions of the uterus when bending:
- Retroflection - this is the name of the position when the uterus is tilted back. In this position, the uterus deviates towards the rectum. Retroflection is most common.
- Hyperantheflexia is the forward deviation of the uterus.
- Deviation of the uterus to the sides, that is, to the right or left, is called leteroflexia.
It is worth noting that even with a normal position, the uterus is able to move. Its position depends on the neighboring organs. So if the intestines are full, the uterus will lean forward, and if the bladder is full, it moves the organ back.
Causes of the bend of the uterus
The development of a pathology of this nature is caused by various reasons. The determination of the method of treatment depends on the factor that caused the bending of the uterus. It is worth noting that the incorrect location of the uterus may simply be a feature of the woman's body. This means that the bend of the uterus in this woman was formed from birth. In such a case, the bend is considered anatomical, it does not bother the woman in any way and does not in any way affect her ability to give birth to a child.
If the bend develops due to any external factors, then it is called pathological. Among the causes of pathological bending, the following can be identified:
- Various bowel diseases.
- The development of malignant tumors of the genital organs.
- Great physical activity.
- Decreased tone of the ligaments and muscles of the pelvic region after childbirth.
- Penetration during childbirth into the female body of infection and the further development of inflammation.
Consequences of bending of the uterus
With an anatomical bend of the uterus, there are usually no consequences. Often, a woman does not even suspect that she has such a diagnosis. In the case when the bend of the uterus was formed for other reasons, the consequences can be expected to be very serious. The simplest is unpleasant, prolonged periods. In this case, the start menses marked by painful spasms. Bleeding is severe, and clots are often found in the blood. Sometimes bleeding occurs between periods.
Women with this diagnosis often feel the urge to urinate. But there is no inflammation or pain. Some ladies experience pain during sex, a gynecological check-up, or a bowel movement. The second half of pregnancy can be painful.
The most deplorable consequences of displacement of the uterus are the difficulty of conceiving and the difficulty of bearing a child due to adhesions. After all, a bend as such is not considered an obstacle to pregnancy. But neglected adhesions, due to which the bend is formed, pose a threat to pregnancy.
Uterine fold and pregnancy
If the deviation of the uterus is a congenital feature of a woman, then it does not in any way affect her ability to conceive and bear a child. Women with this diagnosis are able to become pregnant on their own and give birth to a healthy baby. Another thing is when the deviation appeared as a result of some external factors.
If the pathological bend of the uterus is poorly expressed, then it usually does not exclude the ability to bear children, as well as the anatomical bend. With a very pronounced bend, a real obstacle to sperm cells appears. In this position, the sperm cannot get into the uterine cavity due to the fact that its cervix is close to the front wall of the vagina. If the uterus is bent due to the presence of adhesions, then there is a narrowing or even obstruction of the fallopian tubes, which also leads to the inability to conceive a child.
How to get pregnant when the uterus is bent
As experience shows, bend of the uterus is diagnosed in every fifth lady. Most of them successfully give birth to children. So we can say with confidence that get pregnant when the uterus bends is possible.
If you decide on a pregnancy, having a diagnosis of uterine bend, then first of all you need to visit a gynecologist and consult with him. It is necessary to establish the cause of the bend of the uterus and try to cure it. For successful treatment, it is important to establish the cause of the kink.
If the cause of such a pathology is an inflammatory process, then it is necessary to eliminate the inflammation, as well as strengthen the pelvic muscles, doing physical therapy. It is also recommended to take a course of gynecological massage. It will take a long time to heal the adhesions. A course of physiotherapy will be required, followed by enzyme therapy and mud therapy. These methods are aimed at resorption of adhesions. You also need to undergo a gynecological massage.
Having corrected the bend of the uterus, they put on a special device that holds the uterus in a normal position. If the case is especially severe or advanced, surgical intervention is prescribed. Adhesions on the uterus are removed, it is given the correct position and fixed.
Postures for bending the uterus
If you are having difficulty conceiving due to a deviation of the uterus, try having sex in a special poses... These should be positions for which the path of sperm to the uterus is as short as possible.
The most comfortable position that allows you to conceive a baby when the uterus deviates to the rear position is the knee-elbow position of the body. The female organ in this position naturally moves slightly forward and takes an almost normal position. In addition, in a similar position, a man can penetrate deeper.
There are many variations of this pose. For example, a woman should kneel down, or kneel down on her elbows and knees, she can lie sideways or lower her chest on the bed. It is recommended to lower your head and raise the lower part higher. After completing intercourse, do not rush to immediately change the position. Allow the sperm to end up in the uterine cavity. It is also recommended to raise your legs as high as possible immediately after sex, or even take the "birch" position and stand in this state for several minutes.
A posture is effective, during which the lady remains in a supine position with the pelvis raised up. This can be achieved by placing a roller under the buttocks. Alternatively, you can simply throw your legs over the man's shoulders.
If a woman's uterus is displaced away from the normal position, then after having finished sex, lie down a little on the side, towards which there is a deviation. This will help the sperm to enter the cervical canal.
It is best to have sex before bed, so that later you do not have to jump up and run somewhere. This will allow time for the sperm to enter the uterus.
