I have a tilted uterus and sex hurts me
very much. I heard about the UPLIFT and my
finace wants me to get it. I have been
thinking about it but am still not sure
what i think of it. The thought of have
surgery scares the crap out of me. I have
never been put to sleep before. Has anyone
had this done or heard of this before. I
dont know what i should do. And im not
even sure if i am putting this in the
right forum.

I copied this to women's conditions for
you, maybe you'll get more help there.
I'm not sure about the procedure, all I
can say is talk to your doctor about it! I
can't imagine sex being so painful. If
there's a way to fix that, go for it!

hey nikki i found this for you
you might not have to have an uplift
procedure! have you tried these other
things first?
If you have a tipped uterus and are
experiencing symptoms, your physician may
recommend surgery to reposition the
uterus. A uterine suspension can typically
reduce the pain experienced during
intercourse and/or menstruation. This
surgical procedure is used to reposition a
tipped uterus from its backward facing
position to a forward facing position. The
UPLIFT procedure is a newer and improved
method of performing a uterine suspension.
It has been proven to have fewer
postoperative complications than other
uterine suspension procedures. Uterine
repositioning provides lasting pain relief
in most cases of painful sex and in some
cases of painful menstruation.
A tipped uterus can also be repositioned
by:
"Knee-chest": An exercise that may help
reposition a tipped uterus temporarily.
However, this exercise will not be
effective if the uterus has become tipped
because of endometriosis, fibroid tumors,
or pelvic infections.
Pessary: A plastic or silicone device that
is placed in the vagina to reposition a
tipped uterus. It is generally considered
a temporary solution for pelvic pain
because long term use can lead to vaginal
infections.
