Uterine retroversion during the first trimester is quite common. However, as the uterus increases in size, self-correction usually occurs and the second trimester pregnant uterus becomes an abdominal organ. If anteversion does not occur, pelvic impaction will result. The prevalence of late first and early second trimester uterine impaction is approximately 1 in 3000 pregnancies. Our case documents sonographically the spontaneous resolution of a markedly retroverted uterus at 26 weeks' gestation.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate if retroverted (RV) uterus noted on nuchal translucency (NT) ultrasound is associated with second-trimester pregnancy loss and other adverse pregnancy outcomes.
Study Design: This was a retrospective cohort study of patients with RV uterus documented on NT ultrasound at a single academic medical center from October 2019 to March 2023. Subjects were identified using a query for "retroverted" uterine position within an obstetric ultrasound imaging program.
Purpose: This study investigated the hypothesis of early dehiscence of hysterorrhaphy as the initial stage of post-cesarean uterine scar defects, examining the possible influence of barbed suture in this process.
Methods: This longitudinal, prospective, double-blind study included 54 pregnant women with no history of cesarean section, randomized into two suture groups: #0 polyglactin or #1 barbed PDS threads. Sutures were continuous, unlocked, involved the entire myometrium in a single layer, and included the endometrium.

Article Synopsis
- This research investigates the ultrasound characteristics and outcomes of incarceration of the gravid uterus (IGU) in pregnant women to assist in medical management.
- A study at Hunan Provincial Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital analyzed 13 diagnosed IGU cases out of 140,162 deliveries, revealing prior abdominal surgery as the main risk factor and dysuria as a common symptom.
- The findings suggest that, while IGU is rare and often has a good prognosis, regular monitoring may be sufficient if there are no severe symptoms, with ultrasound being critical for diagnosis.

Background: Dyspareunia (pain during sex) is a common condition that causes physical and emotional stress for many women. This condition can be caused by various factors, including physical, hormonal, inflammatory, viral, neoplastic, psychological, and traumatic events. Anatomical causes include pelvic floor muscular weakness, uterine retroversion, hymenal remnants, and pelvic organ prolapse.
