In relation to vagina when there forward bending of uterus it is called as ? Correct Answer <span style="">Anteflexion</span>
Concept:
- The long axis of the body of the uterus is tilted forward over the long axis of the cervix, which is called anteflexion of the uterus.
- A backward tilt at this level is called retroflection.
- Anteflexion: forward bending of uterus.
- The uterus assumes an anteverted position in 50% of women, a retroverted position in 25% of women, and a mid posed position in the remaining 25% of women.
Key Points
- Plantar flexion : backward bending of uterus in relation to vagina
- Anteversion: it is also called as hip antiversion in which we can observe the forward bending of hip
- Dorsiflexion: it is corresponding to the movement of hands and feet, backward bending of foot or hand
- Hyperanteflexion – tipped too forward; most commonly congenital, but may be caused by tumors
- anteposition, retroposition, lateroposition – the whole uterus is moved; caused by parametritis or tumors
- elevation, descensus, prolapse
- Rotation (the whole uterus rotates around its longitudinal axis), torsion (only the body of the uterus rotates around)
