| retroverted |
Refers to the position of the uterus when it is tilted backward in relation to the direction of the vagina. A retroverted uterus is not always abnormal. Sometimes, however, a uterus can be pulled into a retroverted position by endometriosis affecting the uterosacral ligaments. A sharply retroverted uterus can cause pain during and after sex (dyspareunia). Opposite to anteverted. See also transvaginal ultrasound.
