In most women, the long axis of the uterus is bent forward on the long axis of the vagina, against the urinary bladder . This position is referred to as anteversion of the uterus . Furthermore, the long axis of the body of the uterus is bent forward at the level of the internal os with the long axis of the cervix . This position is termed anteflexion of the uterus . Uterus assumes anteverted position in 50% women, retroverted position in 25% women and rest have midposed uterus . </P> <P> The uterus is in the middle of the pelvic cavity in frontal plane (due to ligamentum latum uteri). The fundus does not surpass the linea terminalis, while the vaginal part of the cervix does not extend below interspinal line . The uterus is mobile and moves posteriorly under the pressure of a full bladder, or anteriorly under the pressure of a full rectum . If both are full, it moves upwards . Increased intraabdominal pressure pushes it downwards . The mobility is conferred to it by musculo - fibrous apparatus that consists of suspensory and sustentacular part . Under normal circumstances the suspensory part keeps the uterus in anteflexion and anteversion (in 90% of women) and keeps it "floating" in the pelvis . The meaning of these terms are described below: </P>
