Where is the uterus?

Middle pelvic cavity, between bladder and rectum.

The uterus is located in the middle of pelvic cavity, between bladder and rectum. Its position can change with the filling degree or posture of bladder and rectum. When standing upright, the uterine body is almost parallel to the horizontal plane, the bottom of the uterus is located above the back of the bladder, and the cervix remains above the plane of the ischial spine.

The normal uterus of adults is in a slightly forward and forward bending posture. Forward leaning refers to an open angle between the uterine axis and the vaginal axis, and forward bending refers to the bending between the uterine body and the cervix. The normal position of uterus mainly depends on the structures such as uterine ligament, pelvic diaphragm, urogenital diaphragm and perineal central tendon. When these structures are damaged or relaxed, it will cause uterine prolapse.

The main function of female uterus

1, menstrual function: no uterus, no menstruation. In fact, menstruation is mainly affected by sex hormones. Under the action of estrogen and progesterone, the endometrium becomes thicker. Without fertilization, the endometrium will fall off about two weeks after ovulation, and then there will be menstrual blood.

Menstruation can indicate whether a woman is healthy or not. It can promote metabolic activity in the body, promote hematopoiesis in the body and expel some toxins.

2. Fertility function: Everyone is conceived in the uterus, which is a sign of women's maturity and plays an important role in the reproduction and continuation of human beings. Without the uterus, women can't conceive their own fetus, so they can only conceive their own children with the help of the uterus.

3, endocrine function: it can not only provide blood for the normal operation of the ovary, but also secrete hormones, which can maintain the endocrine balance of the human body and reduce the risk of diseases caused by endocrine disorders, so the hormones secreted by the uterus are a very important part of endocrine function.
