 Diagnosis

1.      Anteverted Uterus

This entails the uterus being tilted forward. Notably, the uterus is dislocated towards the bladder. It is a common issue among women and especially among those with complexities during their pregnancies. It is caused by various aspects including birth defects and caesarean delivery (Zhang, He, Huang, & He, 2016). Common symptoms include abdominal pain during menstruation, constipation prior to menstruation, foul smelling, and ovarian pain during ovulation.

2.      Uterus Abnormality: Small

This describes a uterus that does not conform to the normal characteristics. It is different based on size and shape. For a small uterus, main symptoms include painful intercourse, increased urination, menstrual cramping, and pain in the lower back and pelvis (Demain et al., 2017).

3.      Uterine Fibroids

These are noncancerous growths of the uterus which present during the childbearing period. They result in bulky masses and can enlarge or distort the uterus. They are characterized by pelvic pain, constipation, leg pains, menstrual periods for more than a week and heavy menstrual (Donnez et al., 2015).

Primary Diagnosis

From the exam, CW has a small and anteverted uterus which in broad explains abnormality. This is described as a uterus that does not demonstrate normal characteristics. No apparent symptoms associated with the situation presently.
