What does anterior uterine position mean?

Anterior uterus means that the cervix is pointing downward to the posterior vaginal fornix, which is lower in the body, so after sex, semen is easily concentrated there and the cervix is easily soaked with semen, which is conducive to sperm passing through the cervical opening to meet the egg and conceive. Therefore, the anterior uterus has more chances to conceive. The classification of anterior uterus is divided into three types according to the relationship between the edge of the placenta and the cervical opening: (1) complete placenta praevia: the placenta completely covers the endocervical opening, also known as central placenta praevia. (2) Partial placenta praevia: the placenta is partially covered by the endocervix. (3) Marginal placenta: the placenta is attached to the lower part of the uterus and the lower edge reaches the edge of the endocervix, also known as low-set placenta praevia. Adverse effects of anterior uterine position Anterior uterine position may cause placenta praevia, which is one of the main causes of late pregnancy bleeding and threatens the life of mother and child. Patients with anterior uterus are advised to go to the hospital for examination to avoid adverse effects. Does anterior uterus need to be treated or not? Although anterior uterus position is easy to get pregnant, it can also cause placenta praevia, which is also one of the main causes of late pregnancy bleeding; anterior uterus position is also a factor leading to ectopic pregnancy in women, threatening the life of the pregnant woman and the fetus. Therefore, it is advisable for patients with anterior uterus to go to a specialized hospital for relevant examinations to investigate whether it causes undesirable lesions. In case of mild anterior uterine position, it can be corrected by postural exercises, specifically by lying on the side, supine and kneeling up 2-3 times a day to give the uterus a chance to reset. You should also lie down once a day during menstruation because the uterus is slightly softer at this time, which is conducive to uterine repositioning. However, in the case of severe anterior uterine position, further treatment is required to avoid adverse effects. The need for abortion or medical abortion due to contraceptive failure is a very damaging practice. Therefore, each person has to choose the right type of contraception for his or her situation. If you become pregnant again soon after an abortion, the fertilized egg will re-establish itself on the endometrium that has not yet recovered, leading to a spontaneous abortion. Therefore, it is better to consider pregnancy after six months to one year after abortion.
