Feedback:
A retroverted uterus means the uterus tips back. Minor variations of these positions do not tend to cause reproductive problems. A retroverted uterus does not mean that the patient needs surgery. A retroverted uterus does not interfere with fertility. The only way that a retroverted uterus will interfere with conception is if the abnormal position is extreme because the sharp bend can block the deposition or migration of sperm.
