A member asked:

I'm going to have a laprascopic myomectomy to remove large fibroid. i recently learned i have a retroverted uterus - how might this complicate surgery or recovery? is retroversion genetic?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Can be acquired: Your surgeon should be able to accommodate the retroverted uterus during surgery. Retroverted uterus may be congenital or acquired. Visit these sites for info on retroverted uterus. https://www.healthline.com/health/womens-health/tilted-uterus https://www.mayoclinic.org/tilted-uterus/expert-answers/faq-20058485 Wish you good health!
