Causes of a Tipped/Displaced Uterus
- Repeated pregnancies close together with difficult deliveries (ideal to have 3 years so stretched ligaments have a chance to heal)
- Bad professional care during pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum
(including poor emotional support)
- Carrying heavy burdens just before or during menstruation or too soon after childbirth
- Wearing high heeled shoes
- Running on hard surfaces, high impact dancing, aerobics or sports
- Injury to sacrum or tailbone from a fall, a severe blow or car accident
- Chronic constipation
- Poor alignment of pelvic bones with the spinal column
- Chronic spasms around the low back and sacrum
- Carrying young children on the hip for prolonged periods of time
- Modern Life
- Emotional armoring from rape, sexual abuse, or incest at any time in your life (armoring presses down on uterus)
- Straining during bowel movements
- Aging and the pull of gravity on ligaments
