What to do if the uterus is posteriorly positioned and compressing the rectum

Mild retroversion of the uterus usually does not produce adverse effects and can lead a normal work and life. If the posterior uterus is pressing on the rectum more seriously and problems such as severe constipation occur, the symptoms of constipation can be relieved by appropriate knee-chest position or eating more vegetables, fruits and other foods rich in coarse fiber. If it cannot be improved even after diet and exercise, it is necessary to go to the hospital to reset the uterus, which can be done by manipulation and reset into anterior or median position or by surgical treatment. Women with severe retroversion of the uterus may experience back pain, anal cramping, poor flow of menstrual blood during menstruation, and menstrual pain. The occurrence of retroversion of the uterus in one case is a congenital position of the uterus, which is a physiological phenomenon; in the other case, it is secondary to diseases such as repeated abortion, childbirth and pelvic inflammatory disease, which require active treatment of the primary cause to improve the symptoms.
