Retroverted Uterus

[Joanne-L]

Hi,

Had results back today from an internal ultrasound scan and they've advised I have a retroverted uterus.

I've read up this can be associated with endo.

Anyone have experience of this please?

Thank you

Hiya, I spoke to my specialist about this and she said that most women with endo have a retroverted one. Nothing to worry about though! X

Adenomyosis is when the same Endo plants become implanted in the muscle of the uterus. They cannot see this during a lap because it’s in the muscle wall of the inside of your uterus. An mri or a trans vaginal ultrasound performed by a Endo specialist will be able to tell you if it’s likely you have adenomyosis. Usually you have a bulky uterus and they can tell. The only definitive way to diagnosis it is after you have a hysterectomy and they do pathology. The only cure for it is a hysterectomy. I have both.

I had a MRI scan that's how they diagnosed mine x
