Is a tilted uterus stopping you from getting pregnant? Could it be the reason for painful periods or backaches? Has the term “retroverted uterus” been brought up at one of your recent doctor’s appointments?
In this episode of Brave & Curious, Dr. Lora Shahine is taking the mystery out of the retroverted (or tilted) uterus. She explains what it is, how common it is, and whether it impacts fertility or pregnancy. Good news: in most cases, it doesn’t.
Dr. Shahine also sheds light on when a tilted uterus might signal something more—like endometriosis, pelvic infections, or fibroids—and how that can influence reproductive health.
Listeners will walk away with a solid understanding of what a retroverted uterus is (and isn’t), what symptoms to watch for, and when it’s worth checking with your medical provider.

- [1:22] What is a retroverted or tilted uterus?

- [4:34] Retroverted uterus and fertility
- [6:25] Retroverted uterus and pregnancy
