What problems does a retroverted uterus cause?

By Marta Barranquero Gómez B.Sc., M.Sc. (embryologist).
Last Update: 01/26/2021

In principle, a retroverted uterus should not have any consequences for a woman's health. This uterine alteration does not usually cause serious symptoms in women.

However, some women describe pain in the lower back and/or constipation during menstruation. In addition, there is a greater tendency for the pelvic ligaments to weaken once menopause is reached.
