The normal position of the uterus should be in the center of the pelvic cavity, between the bladder and rectum. Some women have the uterus in the anterior position, while others have the uterus in the posterior position. It is understood that women in the anterior position of the uterus are more likely to conceive, so the pregnancy rate is higher. On the contrary, the pregnancy rate is lower in the posterior position of the uterus. Is it easier for ectopic pregnancy to occur in the posterior position of the uterus?
Posterior uterine position is less likely to cause ectopic pregnancy, and it is also a common uterine position. Although the pregnancy rate is lower, it generally does not require treatment. Only treatment accompanied by gynecological diseases should be carried out before relevant gynecological treatment.
The occurrence of ectopic pregnancy is related to the fallopian tubes. If there is inflammation, underdevelopment, or surgery in the fallopian tubes, it can affect the implantation of the fertilized egg. If the fertilized egg does not implant in the uterine cavity, it often implants into the fallopian tubes, which is called tubal pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancy is also related to the intrauterine device (IUD). If the IUD deviates or falls off, it can lead to pregnancy. However, sometimes the fertilized egg is affected by the IUD and cannot implant normally in the uterine cavity, resulting in ectopic pregnancy.
So, the posterior or anterior position of the uterus is only a description of the position of the uterus and has nothing to do with conception. The posterior position of the uterus may also be related to multiple induced abortions, congenital uterine dysplasia, uterine inflammation, tubal inflammation, and ovarian inflammation.
