What Is an Anteverted Uterus?

Learn what an anteverted uterus is, how common it is, and whether it affects fertility, periods, or pelvic pain.

An anteverted uterus simply means the uterus tilts forward toward the bladder instead of backward. It’s the most common uterine position and is considered completely normal.

How Common Is It?

Around 70–75% of people with a uterus have an anteverted uterus.

Does It Cause Symptoms?

Usually, no. Most people never know their uterine position unless told during an exam or ultrasound.

In some cases, it may be associated with:

  • Mild pelvic pressure

  • Discomfort with certain sexual positions

  • Slight differences in period cramping
