A member asked:
Can you fell the uterus through a rectal exam?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Many women have a "retorverted" uterus meaning the main part of the uterus tips backward toward the pelvic bone. This can often be felt with rectal exam. The lower part of the uterus, the cervix, can normally be felt in most women.
