It is normal for the uterus to change from an anteverted to a retroverted position. Prolonged supine lying or urinary retention may cause a change in the position of the uterus. Additionally, pregnancy and childbirth can also alter uterine position, although the uterus usually gradually returns to its normal position after delivery. To accurately determine the position of the uterus, one can go to the hospital, empty the bladder, and undergo a gynecological examination, as this will provide a relatively accurate assessment of uterine position.
