Both alterations in position may be congenital or acquired; neither causes symptoms per se, and their treatment is identical. Retroversioflexions complicated by prolapse in the axis of the vagina constitute a separate problem and are not under consideration.Congenital displacements are identified in most cases by the foreshortened anterior cervical lip and anterior vaginal fornix, a general hypoplasia of the internal pelvic organs, and the limited mobility of the uterus despite the absence of restraint from adnexal inflammatory involvements.
