I have alot of back pain Endometriosis can cause pain anywhere in the pelvis or abdomen, including the back. A "tilted" uterus, called a retroverted uterus in medical terminology, is a condition where the uterus is pointing down, towards the rectum, instead of towards the bladder. During intercourse the uterus moves a lot, and can push against other organs, causing pain. With endometriosis, a tilted uterus may mean that the uterus is "stuck" to the colon, due to the endometriosis implants. These implants tend to cause scar tissue. Endometriosis is a difficult disease to treat. Please discuss these issues with your gynecologist. Also, there is a lot of information about endometriosis right here at obgyn.net for you to review. Good luck, and thanks for the question. -- Ashley Hill David Ashley Hill, M.D. Associate Director Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Florida Hospital Family Practice Residency Orlando, Florida The above information is provided for medical education only, and is not intended as specific medical advice.
