Frequent urination isthe most constant complaint. Where other symptoms exist theyare usually caused by complications rather than by simple displace-ment.

As with anteversion, so with anteflexion of the uterus; it is notpossible to draw a line between the normal and the abnormal posi-tion. In anteflexion the uterus is bent forward upon its long axis. PLATE XXVIII, FIO 1.
