retroverted uterus & uplift procedure - Women's Health Message Board

Has anyone tried the relatively new uplift procedure for a retroverted uterus? It seems rather simple, but I would like to hear from an actual patient. Thanks!

I haven't even heard of this procedure, but I'd be interested to learn about it. I have a retroverted uterus, but have never realized that anyone would want to do something about it. I didn't think it caused any problems.

I hope you find an answer to your question.

I was wondering too why this surgery might be necessary. I also have a retroverted uterus but have been told it's nothing to worry about. I've read that some women with it have painful intercourse so maybe this surgery is for them?

Hmmm, this poses quite the question. I too would also like to hear from somebody who has had this procedure.

My doctor pretty much in passing, told me I have a tilted uterus, and that could possibly cause my pain, but he wasn't sure and shrugged it off.

It would be great to hear from someone who has had this procedure. This is like an eye opener for me

I think I will also question my doctor on this as I have never heard of this procedure.
