rarely, a retroverted uterus is due to a disease such as endometriosis, an infection or prior surgery. those conditions, but not the position of the uterus itself, can reduce fertility in some cases. a tipped uterus will usually move to the middle of the pelvis during the 10th to 12th week of pregnancy. rarely (1 in 3000 to 8000 pregnancies) a retroverted uterus will cause painful and difficult urination, and can cause severe urinary retention. treatment for this condition (called "incarcerated uterus") includes manual anteversion of the uterus, and usually requires intermittent or continuous catheter drainage of the bladder until the problem is rectified or spontaneously resolves by the natural enlargement of the uterus, which brings it out of the tipped position. in addition to manual anteversion and bladder drainage, treatment of urinary retention due to retroverted uterus can require the use of a pessary, or even surgery, but often is as simple as having the pregnant mother sleep on her stomach for a day or two, to allow the retroverted uterus to move forward.

the menstrual cycle is the regular natural change that occurs in the female reproductive system (specifically the uterus and ovaries) that makes pregnancy possible. the cycle is required for the production of oocytes, and for the preparation of the uterus for pregnancy. the menstrual cycle occurs due to the rise and fall of hormones. this cycle results in the thickening of the lining of the uterus, and the growth of an egg, (which is required for pregnancy). the egg is released from an ovary around day fourteen in the cycle; the thickened lining of the uterus provides nutrients to an embryo after implantation. if pregnancy does not occur, the lining is released in what is known as menstruation.
