My womb is retroverted. Could this cause infertility? i-checksum="9930" ends | ||

Can a retroverted uterus cause infertility? About one lady in five has a womb that tilts backwards (27
). At one time it was believed that a retroverted womb was associated with virtually every kind of gynaecological symptom, including infertility, and an operation called ventrosuspension was performed to tilt the womb forward. It is now recognised that women with retroverted wombs are no less fertile than those with an anteverted (forward tilting) uterus and surgery is not beneficial.
