Hello doctor,
I had an ultrasound of the uterus with the results:
Uterus: Position in front of DAP: 34mm. Endothelium: 3mm, homogeneous structure. Right ovary: no tumor. Left ovary: no tumor. Pockets front and back do not translate. So the doctor asked me to ask if the uterus leaning forward affects fertility? With such results, can I get pregnant? Please advise doctor, thank you doctor.

Hi,
With the question “Does the forward uterus affect fertility? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Uterus leaning forward is a normal phenomenon, does not affect your ability to get pregnant. Thus, in addition to ultrasound, you need to see an obstetrician and gynecologist for specific advice, because the thickness of the uterine lining will change with each different phase of the menstrual cycle. The normal uterine lining is about 7-8mm thick.
The first phase of the menstrual cycle, after menstruation, is when the uterine lining is at its thinnest, about 3-4mm. During ovulation, the lining of the uterus is about 8-12mm. In the second half of the cycle, the uterine lining thickens to about 12-16mm. Ideally, you should visit a specialist for specific advice.
If you still have questions about the uterus leaning forward, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
