Symptoms of an Anteflexed & Anteverted Womb
The womb is a hollow, suspensory, detoxification organ that moves in and out of optimal position.
The womb moves to expand with childbirth and menstruation, and many factors as we shared the other day, affect womb placement.
When your womb is in a non-optimal position, it will affect other related systems of flow. These important systems then don’t get the nourishment they need to be in their healthiest and full divine expression as organs and as collaborative systems.
This is an underlying contributor to many of the symptoms related to menstruation such as PMS, pelvic pain, endometriosis, fibroids, ovarian cysts, PMDD, PCOS, severe cramping, painful intercourse, lack of sensation during sex, numbness, ovulatory pain, infertility, chronic miscarriages, difficult perimenopausal, menopausal symptoms and so much more.

Anteflexed Womb
In this position, the uterus is flexed forward, in a forward fold, thus the womb presses on the bladder.
Symptoms associated with an Anteflexed Womb:
- Dark brown blood at the beginning and end of the cycle
- PMS
- Hormonal irregularities
- Frequent urination
- Pelvic stagnation
- Intense cramping with menses and ovulation. Symptoms are often felt on the front side of your body.
Because the womb is a hollow organ, if not in an optimal position the womb can’t move in the ways the musculature is designed, thus creating stagnancy.
This is then reflected in your blood and symptoms experienced with your cycle.
One may also feel pressure in the colon which will affect the digestive system, elimination, and pain with sexual intercourse.
An Anteflexed womb can also lead to struggles with infertility and other commonly diagnosed menstrual & reproductive issues and disorders.
Make it stand out
Anteverted Womb
In an anteverted womb positioning, the opening of the cervix is pointing toward the rectum and is often placed lower in the vaginal canal.
The symptoms of an anteverted womb may present similarly to those of an anteflexed womb, and include the frequent feeling of needing to urinate, and irritation or pressure in the pelvic bowl or associated with the bladder.
Since the cervix is pointing toward the rectum, this can also affect digestion and elimination, and the quality of menstrual blood, as fluid from the rectum may exchange with that of the uterus.
With this position, an increase in discomfort associated with your menstrual cycle, such as cramping and pain with bleeding, can be greatly reduced with regular bowel movements before and during your cycles.
The best method for determining your womb’s position is to start tracking your cycle, symptoms, and cervical placement throughout the month.
It is from there that we can interpret your womb’s placement. To get a clear picture it is best to track this for at least three months.
