| | Retroversion of the uterus |
| | Retroversion of the uterus is a normal variation of female pelvic anatomy in which the body of the uterus is tipped toward the back rather than forward. | | | However, early treatment of PID or endometriosis may reduce the chances of a change in the position of the uterus. | | | Call your health care provider if you develop persistent pelvic pain or discomfort. |

| | The uterus is related energetically to a woman’s innermost sense of self and her inner world. | | | The general patriarchal tone of this training is that if such a woman were more sophisticated, she would know that the uterus is useless to her except for childbearing. | | | Because our thoughts affect our bodies, the negative messages about the uterus that are reflected in the curent statistics and which we internalize over a lifetime are associated with a large number of problems that women experience in this area. |

| | The body of the uterus extends above the cervix at a gentle angle. | | | To treat these conditions -- or simply to change the uterine angle on principle -- doctors commonly prescribed a diaphragm-like device called a pessary. | | | This can occur with endometriosis, a condition in which uterine lining grows outside the uterus. |

| | Bicornuate Uterus - FROM RONNIE Falcão's MIDWIFE ARCHIVES |
| | Sometimes this results in a nice heart-shaped uterus which has little effect - sometimes the two sides are separated all the way down the middle, which is kind of a birthing challenge and may result in a higher incidence of miscarriages as the placenta may develop on the septum, which has an inadequate blood supply. | | | The most common is the bicornuate uterus, which means the uterus has two horns. | | | So there's a higher incidence of breech positions with a bicornuate uterus, but the baby may also turn head down. |
