German term or phrase: Muttermund quer
This is from a histology report.
Uterus is being examined following hysterectomy.

I can find several German texts describing the cervix as "quer", but I can find or work out a corresponding English description. It seems to be a normal finding...

tilted cervix

I have adenomyosis and all through my life I have been told my cervix is tipped-they tell my daughter that too. finally the np explained that my uteris is like a goose neck to my cervix. you know the gourd that has that goose neck thing, my cervix is at the end of the neck, they really have to look for it and let me tell ya it hurts always has. so here's my question-a woman I work with said you have no vagina afterwards-did not understand that. to me because my cervix is so far back I would have a longer vagina. she's a bit older than I am and I know my husbands issue is sex...mine too but has anyone else been told their cervix is tipped? My daughter and I figure thats why we are able to get pregnant so easily. well was able for me. I'm really not sure what is getting removed. I was a bit out of it when my doc was explaining. but he's the first to ever tell me what is causing my pain, my indegestion, my weird periods. its been a long time I am freaked out about the procedure and recovery but I really want to live my life pain free without wondering when does it start.

Re: tilted cervix

Hi Holly469,

I have a tilted uterus and adenmyosis too, I think the "technical" terms is retroverted.
