In this discussion you will learn what a tipped uterus is and what may cause it. The uterus is the muscular organ at the top of the vagina.
Babies develop in the uterus, and menstrual blood comes from the uterus.
In most women, the uterus is tilted upward and forward. A tipped uterus is a normal variation. You may have a tipped uterus because your uterus stayed in its retroverted position, which is usual in infancy, instead of moving forward as you matured. Less commonly, a tipped uterus is caused by disease, such as a tumor, or scarring from endometriosis or infection. Most women have no symptoms at all.
