tilted womb

[christine847]

I have been for a smear test today and the nurse had difficulty in getting a sample due to a tilted womb
I didnt know this before i went......could this condition cause back problems?
thanks Chrissy

A tilted or retroverted womb is very common,it can cause problems in conceiving a baby as the sperm has trouble entering the cervix because of the position of it.If you do have a baby you may suffer your labour pains in your back but it shouldn't cause any actual back trouble.All the women in my family have retrovered wombs and we are all fine.My doctor said the most likely way to conceive with this condition is to have sex in the spoons or doggy position :-)
