Retroversion of the uterus - Treatment

Alternative Names

Uterus retroversion; Malposition of the uterus; Tipped uterus

Treatment:

Treatment is usually not necessary. Any underlying disorders (such as endometriosis or adhesions) may be treated as needed.

Expectations (prognosis):

Usually this condition does not cause problems.

Complications:

Atypical positioning of the uterus may be caused by endometriosis, salpingitis, or pressure from a growing tumor. These conditions should be ruled out in a patient with pain or other symptoms.

Calling your health care provider:

Call your health care provider if you develop persistent pelvic pain or discomfort.
