    Retrograde uterus
    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.

    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.
