A member asked:

What could cause a bulky, retroverted uterus?

Dr. Elizabeth Hutson answered

Specializes in Gynecology

Depends: A retroverted uterus just means the position of the uterus is tilted back towards the rectum. This is not abnormal. Bulky usually means the uterus is enlarged. The most common reasons are fibroids and adenomyosis. Both are benign conditions but if symptoms are bad treatment can be considered.

A member asked:

Why would your uterus change to retroverted without prior pregnancy or infection? Also, why would sex cause deep pain? Infections / STDs / Cervical cancer has been checked and all Negative. So what else could this be?
