INVERTED UTERUS Retroverted Tilted Uterus Pregnancy

WHAT IS UTERUS?

Uterus is a vacant beefy organ which is positioned in the female pelvis between the bladder and rectum. The ovaries make the eggs which travel through the fallopian tubes. As soon as the egg leaves the ovary, it is able to fertilize and implant itself in the lining of the uterus. The foremost and major function of the uterus is to feed the growing fetus prior to birth.

INVERTED UTERUS OR RETROVERTED UTERUS

Inverted uterus, also called as retroverted uterus, tipped uterus or tilted uterus, is a reverse position of the uterus. It is a naturally-occurring variant on how the uterus is located in the abdominal cavity. In the case of inverted uterus or retroverted uterus, it is actually lying on top of the bladder; it lies to either side of it instead of being at its normal position. An inverted uterus or titled uterus trips back towards the spinal column instead of belly button. However, cervix remains at its place, either at top or end of the vaginal canal. But this causes fundus of the uterus to be in an untraditional direction.
