What causes an anteverted uterus?

You're usually born with an anteverted uterus. This is not always the case, though. Your uterus has the unique ability to grow and shift, so you can develop an anteverted uterus later in life.

When a person is pregnant, a retroverted uterus will shift to an anteverted uterus around the second trimester. It can sometimes remain in the anteverted position. Scar tissue or adhesions from surgery or conditions like endometriosis can cause a retroverted uterus to change to an anteverted position.
