Bending of the uterus causes

"Why does the uterus bend and what does it mean?" - we think that these questions are of concern to more than one woman. In order to understand the nature of the occurrence of any abnormalities of the uterus from the standard position, we suggest reading our article.

Some terminology

There are three basic concepts of abnormal uterus.

1. Hyperanthelexia - deviation of the uterus anterior.
2. Retroflexia - a strong bend of the uterus posterior - the most common form of deviation.
3. Lethovenflexia is a deviation to the left or to the right.

Normal is considered to be the 2 position of the uterus:

• when it is located under a slight inclination forward, forming an obtuse angle with the neck of the vagina;
• When the uterus and neck of the vagina are located in the same plane.

Why does the uterus bend?

The main reasons for bending the cervix are:

• complex births that occur with breaks in the muscles of the pelvic floor;
• endometriosis (gynecological disease associated with the growth of endometrial cells outside of this very endometrium);
• frequent or chronic constipation;
• presence of tumoral diseases, in which the tumor oppresses the uterus, thereby forming an inflection or bend;
• the frequent cause of the bending of the uterus posteriorly is the formation of scars (adhesions) after the transferred inflammation, infection or surgery;
• weakening of ligaments of the muscles of the pelvis and pelvic floor;
• congenital pathology;
• fast and sharp weight loss;
• individual features of a woman or heredity, together with which the congenital bend of the uterus was passed from mom to daughter.

How and by what signs can you determine the bend of the uterus?

Very often, any of the forms of bends flow imperceptibly for a woman. About her, she can find out by chance only on a routine examination with a specialist. The following symptoms are extremely rare.

1. Painful menstruation.
2. Violation of the menstrual cycle (monthly increases in terms and volumes).
3. Constipation.
4. Appearance of whiteness. Beli are strong unusual vaginal discharge, which can be watery, milky white, and sometimes yellow-green in color. Sometimes whites have an unpleasant smell and cause irritating itching.

In clinics, biopsy (cell sampling) and colposcopy (examination of the vagina and cervix using a colposcope) are used to diagnose bending of the cervix.

Treatment for bending the cervix

Treatment, as a rule, is appointed after a thorough examination. The following methods are used as treatment.

1. Elimination of bending by a gynecologist. The doctor does an uncomplicated operation, for which you do not even have to go to the hospital. During this operation, put the uterus in a normal position. Sometimes after these procedures, a woman is suggested to vilify the pessary - a special device that keeps the uterus in the right position.
2. The power supply is corrected.
3. A course of vitamin therapy is prescribed.
4. It is recommended to exercise sports, or special therapeutic gymnastics, during which a special role is assigned not only to the complex of exercises, but also the pace in which they are performed.
5. Gynecological massage, combined with hydromassage and mud applications applied to the perineum.
6. It is also recommended to protect yourself from lifting weights and staying in a vertical position for a long time.

If a woman does not disturb the position of her uterus in any way, she does not feel discomfort, there are no problems with conception, then it may very well be that she does not need treatment. But this must be confirmed by a qualified specialist.

Bending of the uterus in girls

Separately, I would like to consider the widespread belief that if you start early planting young girls, then this can lead to the bending of the uterus. This is all nonsense, and the position of a small child on the cervix does not affect. Do not believe us? Ask your gynecologist or pediatrician. And the main reasons for the occurrence of bending, we have already told.
