A member asked:

Is it possible to have a hysterectomy for a retroverted uterus?

Dr. Dennis Higginbotham answered

Specializes in American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology

Possible: the position of the uterus is not specifically an indictation for surgery, however if there is associated disease such as endometriosis, infection, fibroids, adhesions, etc - a hysterectomy may well be warranted.
