Menstruation is a woman's normal monthly menstrual period. But what are the signs of abnormal periods? When is vaginal bleeding serious?...

Q: Retroverted Uterus Via Injury?

I was injured at work last month lifting a 100 lb coil. Doctors thought I had a hernia, but turns out they found a retroverted uterus instead. I was not born this way. Shortly after the injury I developed a UTI, my discharge was a little thicker, and I am unable to engage in sexual intercouse because it hurts! I cannot sit for long periods of time.....

Workman Comp doctors say that although it is possible my uterus was retroverted via injury, they "cannot prove it". I need help! Are they any doctors who can advise me on this? Or any other women who have gone though the same thing? Sad

I've only heard of that happening from childbirth or a disease like PID or endometriosis, not from injury.

From what I read online, if you are experiencing pain with a retroverted uterus it can signal a more serious reproductive tract disease. Your doc offer any treatment or test you for anything else?

There are treatments available to fix it. As for the workers comp, I can't help you. It really does sound (from my amateur research, I'm no expert on the subject) that getting it from an injury like that is rare, so I can see how it would be hard to prove. Perhaps seek the advice of another doc, and make sure you are tested for PID and endometriosis, and any other std's or non-std infections that you think are possible.

Sorry, I hope someone has better advice for you!!
