What is a uterine fundus exam?
The palmar surface of the fingers on your abdomen hand will palpate for the uterine fundus while the pelvic hand gently pushes the cervix anteriorly. This examination is performed to feel the size and position of the uterus and to look for any tenderness or abnormal consistency, or mobility of the uterus.
What is a retroflexed uterus?
The uterine position is also sometimes described relative to the location of the fundus; that is, an anteflexed uterus, which is normal and where the fundus tilts forward. On the other hand, a retroflexed uterus tilts posteriorly.
What is uterine prolapse?
A clinical scenario one may encounter is that of uterine prolapse. A uterine prolapse is the herniation of the uterus from its normal positioning into the vaginal canal caused by the weakening of its support structures.
What is anteflexion of the uterus?
The long axis of the cervix is rarely in line with the long axis of the body of the uterus. Commonly, 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.
