Hyperanteflexia of the uterus
Hyperanteflexia of the uterus is called uncharacteristic changes in the development and structure of the genitals. The main problems manifest themselves in the non-standard arrangement of the uterine body, which leads to its inflection. Often this arrangement contributes to the formation of an acute angle between the uterine neck and its body.

Hyperanteflexia of the uterus
The majority of patients with this pathology suffer from genital infantilism, accompanied by hypoplasia. The presence of diagnoses indicates a disproportionate ratio of the cervix and the total size of the uterine body.
Hyperanteflexia of the uterus has repeatedly become the main cause of the formation of deviations in the location of the pelvic organs. For example, the uterus may not cover the bladder, which is provided by the anatomical structure of the reproductive system, so a small distance is formed between the organs. It is through this space that intestinal loops begin to press on the main organ of the urinary system. If this problem is not eliminated in time, then over time both the bladder and the vagina may descend, which is anatomically unusual and violates their functionality.
Causes of hyperanteflexia
Among the causes of hyperanteflexia, abnormally short sacro-uterine ligaments are distinguished. Deviations of this kind can appear at the site of tumor formations, chronic stage inflammation and various mechanical damage. The ligaments are pressed on the uterine body, so it is attracted to the neck and provokes the formation of an acute angle of about seventy degrees. The appearance of hyperanteflexia can be influenced by endometriosis, adhesions, artificial termination of pregnancy, endometritis and weakness of the muscle tissue of the abdominal walls. The latter factor is especially dangerous for women during the period of bearing a child, since pathology in the structure of the reproductive system can manifest itself after the sixth week of pregnancy, which can lead to fetal loss. Women who have given birth more than three times fall into a special risk zone.
Symptoms of uterine hyperanteflexia
The symptoms of the deviation are characterized by strong lingering pain in the lower abdomen, violations of menstrual and anovulatory cycles. Patients often have hypomenorrhea, algodismenorrhea. Sometimes women complain of pain during sexual intercourse and uncharacteristic vaginal discharge. Hyperanteflexia can be accompanied by infertility, so often the deviation is found precisely in the treatment of problems with the conception of a child. Infertility is the first sign of female sexual infantilism. If a woman managed to get pregnant, then spontaneous termination of pregnancy often occurs in the early stages. In young girls, due to the pathological structure of the reproductive system, the first menstrual discharge is observed after the age of sixteen.
Diagnosis of uterine hyperanteflexia
This deviation is based on infantilism, since the patients had an abnormally narrowed pelvis, hypoplastic mammary glands, abnormally low hair loss, hypoplasia of the external genitalia.
To diagnose hyperanteflexia of the uterus, it is necessary to conduct a gynecological examination of the internal and external organs of the reproductive system using a special mirror. Such actions make it possible to determine deviations in the development of the uterus and its functioning in time. The neck increases so much that it begins to tilt towards the abdominal wall and takes the shape of a cone. During the examination, flattening of the vaginal entrances and its narrow size can also be detected. If adhesive formations have appeared between the uterus and adjacent organs, then this significantly limits the mobility of her body.
To confirm the diagnosis, specialists prescribe an examination of the uterus, vagina and fallopian tubes using ultrasound equipment. In some cases, probing is used. Hysterosalpingoscopy helps to determine the tortuosity of the fallopian tubes, abnormal elongation of the cervical canal.
Treatment of uterine hyperanteflexia
Absolutely all methods of therapy are aimed at completely overcoming the causes of the formation of the inflection of the uterus: inflammatory processes in the genital area and infantilism. Alternative therapy for hyperanteflexia consists in the use of special gymnastics and physiotherapy procedures: acupuncture, mud treatment, paraffin, etc. Medical treatment provides for the regular intake of vitamins by a woman. Hormonal treatment consists in the use of progesterone and estrogen in certain doses. To eliminate inflammation, adhesions, laparoscopy is used with further correction, which provides for surgical intervention.
Prevention and prognosis of uterine hyperanteflexia
Primary preventive methods consist in the possible exclusion of all risk factors that provoke the development of deviation. At the initial stages, it is necessary to carefully monitor the development of the fetus inside the womb, since pathological development of the genitals can already be observed there.
It is possible to prevent hyperanteflexia of the acquired type only with regular visits to the gynecological office, consultations with a doctor and timely treatment of infectious diseases and inflammatory processes. Pregnant women are advised to use a bandage that supports the uterus and spine with unusually heavy loads as a preventive measure.
