anteflexed uterus definition
Is there a way for a person whose uterus is in the wrong position to move it into the appropriate anteverted position? Uterus positioning is characterized by the tilt of the uterus as well as the location of the fundus (top of the uterus). There is little to no problem with having any uterus position. 1. the bending of an organ so that its top is thrust forward. 2. anterior displacement of a tooth or teeth or of the mandible. an·te·flex·ion. A bending forward; a sharp forward curve or angulation; denoting especially the normal forward bend in the uterus at the junction of corpus and cervix uteri. anteflexion. 1. abnormal forward bending of an organ or part. 2. the normal forward curvature of the uterus. Anteflexion of uterus. Neurologic reinvestigation (day 34) revealed bilateral ptosis, weak bulbar elevation and abduction to the left, weak head anteflexion, diffuse tetraparesis with proximal predominance, diffuse wasting with distal accentuation, and generally reduced deep tendon reflexes. [edit on Wikidata] A retroverted uterus (tilted uterus, tipped uterus) is a uterus that is tilted posteriorly. This is in contrast to the slightly anteverted uterus that most women have, which is tipped forward toward the bladder, with the anterior end slightly concave. This device has three degrees of freedom at the shoulder: shoulder plane of elevation (EP, corresponding with clinical terms of shoulder horizontal abduction and/ or adduction), shoulder elevation angle (EA, corresponding with shoulder anteflexion or shoulder abduction), and axial rotation (AR, corresponding with endorotation and/ or exorotation). Taking video recordings of neck flexion, shoulder elevation, upper extreme abduction, angle of body anteflexion and lateral flexion while the dentist is working, in order to make measurements on the images recorded, should establish the relationship between posture and the presence of LBP and neck pain. 1 severely anteflexed uterus: the uterus is in the same position as normal and bends in the same direction (concave is anterior) but the bend is much more pronounced.  vertical uterus: the fundus (top of the uterus) is straight up. Additional terms include: 1  retrocessed uterus: both the superior and inferior ends of the uterus are pushed posteriorly.  severely anteflexed uterus: the uterus is in the same position as normal and bends in the same direction (concave is anterior) but the bend is much more pronounced. There can be medical problems which change the position of the uterus (such as surgery, uterine fibroids, endometeriosis etc), but this is rare. The position of the fundus (top of the uterus) also is characterized: anteflexed means the top of the uterus is forward, retroflexed means the top of the uterus is backwards. In other words, anteflexed means the uterus looks like a C going forward. There is no effect on fertility based on any position. anteflexion an·te·flex·ion (ān'tē-flěk'shən) n. A sharp forward curve or angulation, especially a forward bend in the uterus at the junction of the corpus and cervix.
The uterus is in the same position as normal and bends in the same direction (concave is anterior) but the bend is much more pronounced.
