What Is a Tilted Uterus?Ī tilted uterus is angled backward toward the lower back and rectum, rather than forward toward the belly button. Talk to your doctor, communicate with partners, and take time to figure out what works for you and your unique body. As with most painful sex conditions, there’s no cure-all solution, but a titled or tipped uterus definitely doesn’t have to stand in the way of pleasure. My hope is that others can get diagnosed earlier than I did. Through slow, patient experimentation, I found ways to alleviate the discomfort and truly enjoy sex. I was finally diagnosed by my ob-gyn during an STI test, and I was relieved to have some explanation for the pain. I spent my first few sexually active years assuming pain was a normal part of penetrative sex, and it nearly put me off sex in general. One condition that gets less attention, however, is a tilted or “retroverted” uterus, despite the fact that it affects about 20% of people with uteruses – me included.
