What does it mean to have an anteverted uterus?
Disease description:
When I went to the hospital for a gynecological examination, the doctor told me that my uterus is in an anterior position. I don't quite understand this—what does it mean to have an anteverted uterus?

Dr. Chen Zhe
An anteverted uterus may refer to the uterus being positioned more forward in the pelvic cavity during a uterine examination. If there are no obvious discomforts or symptoms, treatment may not be necessary at this stage. This condition could be a physiological manifestation caused by abnormal development, but it cannot rule out other causes such as uterine polyps, uterine fibroids, or other malignant lesions. When necessary, further medical evaluation at a hospital is recommended to identify the underlying cause and receive appropriate management.
