One mild technique: ask her to lie on her stomach
One rough one: try to antevert the uterus by manual taxis under general
anesthesia.
Anyway it is unlikely that the uterus won't antevert alone one day.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
