A tilted uterus (when its actual location in the small pelvis is different from where it's supposed to be) can either be congenital or acquired.

Its position can be tilted as soon as one is born, or it could be the result of pathological changes (e.g., endometriosis, adhesions, and infections).

If your doctor has told you about the peculiarities of your uterine position, think of it as your special feature.

As a rule, this condition does not require treatment, or affect the menstrual cycle and the ability to conceive and give birth to a child.

Among the possible symptoms of this anatomical peculiarity are painful sensations in certain positions during sex, changes in the menstrual flow, or increased pain levels.

If this condition is secondary (acquired), it is best to consult a specialist in order to find out its cause.
