Have you ever been told you have a tilted uterus? I have - mine tilts to the left. It might sound scary, especially if your doctor doesn’t give you more info, but it’s not necessarily anything to worry about. Romper reached out to me to talk about titled uteri and created this great resource!
“A gynecological exam is typically necessary to identify the positioning of a uterus, but you can also figure it out on your own — you just need a speculum. “The way that your OB-GYN or whoever is examining your cervix knows that your uterus is tilted is because the uterus and the cervix are connected, like the same part of the same structure,” Vienna Farlow, a holistic reproductive health practitioner, tells Romper. “So you easily see the cervix through a speculum exam, and depending on where the opening of the cervix is positioned, that will tell you where the uterus is because they're connected.””
