Just had my annual exam and am pleased to say that I am healthy! The doctor mentioned that my uterus is "slightly retrograde".
I was going to ask her what that meant, but then I forgot because she knocked over her tray of stuff and had to have the nurse go get more, etc.
So, what is a retrograde uterus? She said it was normal and I was healthy. I had HPV testing and the whole workup and am fine. I've never been pregnant.

A retrograde uterus is one that is slightly tilted one way or another. It's pretty common and nothing to really be concerned about.

Thanks J_9. Good to know I don't need to worry. I wonder what causes it...

Peggy, do you have any children? And how old are you, if you don't mind? I'll try to get a good explanation for you based on those two questions.
