#Uterus shifted to the left free#

There's a lot of terms for it: tipped, backwards, retroverted, retroflexed, retrocessed, retrodisplaced etc. Usually when people say 'tilted' they mean a uterus and cervix that are angled towards your back or butt. Overtime, it can also change position as muscles and ligaments relax or weaken. It will also change positions throughout the month, although this might not be as noticeable if you're on hormonal birth control (it rises during ovulation, and drops during your period). Even in the same person, the uterus will usually move around a bit depending on how you're moving, if you've used the bathroom lately or if you're turned on. The uterus is mobile and can lie in all kinds of positions depending on the person. TL DR A tilted uterus is normal (~1 in 4 women), pretty much always ignored medically because most don't seem to have problems from it, but some people do and there's things you can do to make it better.īasically, all uteruses have a tilt to some degree.

However, I'm also trying to keep this as a resource open to perspectives from both modern and alternative medicine (mainly taking the modern medical view, but there are a few alternative treatments that might be helpful for those interested). I'm not a medical professional, and I'm very open to correcting any misinformation I might have written here as well.
