The uterus is liable to various other displacements, which, however, mostly stand in a different position to those given above. There is elevation or displacement upwards by the dragging of structures adherent to the organ, or by the pressure from below of tumours or collections of fluid in the pelvis. It is also subject to all sorts of deviations when involved in tumours and inflammations of the pelvic organs.
