A member asked:

Feeling peristalsis in my womb what does this mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Movement in pelvis: Sensation of movement in pelvis can be due to many reason, for example: enlarged uterus due to fibroids, adenomyosis, constipation, bladder contractions causing urinary incontinence. Persitalsis can be felt due to bowel movement and being perceived as uterine contractions.
