Posterior Cervix
A posterior cervix is when the vaginal/cervix channel is tilted so that it is facing towards the buttocks. Normally the cervix is tilted toward the stomach so sperm can enter the uterus easily and it make childbirth less difficult. A posterior cervix could lessen probability of conceiving as well as result in difficult pregnancy. Some populations cannot conceive with a posterior cervix.
