Guest guest Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 I don't know if having a tilted uterus (mine is retroverted and retroflexed), but I suspect that the fibroids may be more symptomatic due to the position of the uterus...at least the bulk symptoms. If the uterus is tilted it can press more on the bladder, or the rectum...Most of my symptoms (after the removal of the peduculated one) were from bulk symptoms.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2003 Report Share Posted April 29, 2003 Hi Bev, Mine is tilted. The cervix hides behind my bladder. I see no conections between that and fibroids. W Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2003 Report Share Posted April 29, 2003 I was told by my first gyn-ob Dr. that i had a tilted uterus too way before i ever knew i had fibroids > I have a tilted uterus too - I wonder if that sets us up for these fibroids. > > I remember another fibroidian on this list who also had a tilted uterus. > Interesting.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2003 Report Share Posted April 29, 2003 I have this too: an anteverted uterus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 29, 2003 Report Share Posted April 29, 2003 Hi TX: You are absolutely right about the " bulk symptoms " with the retrograde/retroflex uterus. I heard those terms used once to describe my uterus when I was a teenager but no gyn has mentioned it since. I think that is why I get the 'bearing down' sensation when I go on my walks. The fibroids must shift slightly in position during the long walk downhill and put pressure on the bladder and pelvic muscles, at least that's how it feels to me. Thanks for responding and everyone else who did as well. Rhonda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2003 Report Share Posted April 29, 2003 I think you're right - there must be a trend here with the all the tilted uteruses (or is it uteri?) here. After responding to a previous post (it came up first) I've been scrolling down and I noticed there is a lot more responses about this subject. Actually, having a tilted uterus just makes fibroids so much more problematic with the subsequent pressure on the lower back and bladder/bowels.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2003 Report Share Posted April 29, 2003 I have a " retroverted " uterus, which I believe means it's tilted backwards a bit. Who knows why? Interesting question about poss. relationship between tilting and fibroids. > I have a tilted uterus too - I wonder if that sets us up for these fibroids. > I remember another fibroidian on this list who also had a tilted uterus. > Interesting.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2003 Report Share Posted April 29, 2003 Just a thought...which came first....the chicken or the egg... Well, maybe the fibroids are leading to the tipped uterus? Mine is so tipped that I have to do gymnastics before my GYN can find my cervix to grab a hold and bring it into view to do my pap. It seems that each year it was more and more difficult to visulize my cervix. Maybe as the fibroids grew, it made the uterus more tipped and bent? Just a thought....
