Dr. Joe, I don't know if this degree of retro position can explain dysmenorrhoea, but it definitely fits the definition of retroflexion more than retroversion. Interesting image... will ask to run it by the EAB for posting to our cases...

The fundus appears a bit bulbous and there is the hypoechoic area in the uterus distal to the transducer. Do you think this is a myoma or perhaps a problem of perfusion due to the retroflexion?

thanks, Terry J DuBose

Here is a case of female / 27 yrs age with markedly retroverted and retroflexed uterus. She c/o dysmenorrhoea. Do you think this retroversion can explain it. ? Joe.
