A retroverted uterus (tilted uterus, tipped uterus) is a uterus that is tilted posteriorly. This is in contrast to the slightly "anteverted" uterus that most women have, which is tipped forward toward the bladder, with the anterior end slightly concave. Between 1 in 3 and 1 in 5 women (depending on the source) has a retroverted uterus, which is tipped backwards towards the spine. == Related terms == The following table distinguishes among some of the terms used for the position of the uterus: A retroverted uterus should be distinguished from the following: Additional terms include: * ''retrocessed uterus:'' both the superior and inferior ends of the uterus are pushed posteriorly * ''severely anteflexed uterus:'' the uterus is in the same position as "normal" and bends in the same direction (concave is anterior) but the bend is much more pronounced * ''vertical uterus:'' the fundus (top of the uterus) is straight up. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「retroverted uterus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
