Spanish term or phrase: anteversoflexión

I'm translating a gynecological report that states various characteristics of a particular patient. Among the descriptions is the following: "Útero en anterversoflexión, de características normales y dimensiones dentro de la normalidad".

I can't find an exact translation for "anteversoflexión". Is this just the anteverted or tipped forward position of the uterus? Do I just translate this as "Anteverted uterus" or is "Anteverted flexed uterus" more accurate?

Thanks in advance

so
it must be

uterus in anteversion and antiflexion position

sorry, the earlier reference led me on a wild goose chase!

Grading comment

Tough one to grade. I very much prefer "uterus in anteversion and anteflexion" to "Retroversion of the uterus" for "utero en anteversoflexión", and my searches seem to indicate that the latter is more accurate.

Thanks everyone for the help.

anteverted uterus

Explanation:
When the uterus is anteverted or tilted forward it is in the normal position. This is opposed to the retroverted or tilted uterus.

Example: The uterus leans forwards over the top of the bladder. Doctors call this position anteverted or anteflexed. Some women have a tilted uterus or retroverted uterus. This means it leans away from the bladder rather than over it. It's not strictly speaking an abnormality, because it affects the position, rather than the structure, of the uterus.

You could also call it anteflexed.

La dirección del útero también se puede encontrar cuando el cuerpo se dirige hacia delante (anteversión), cuando se dirige hacia atrás (retroversión) y cuando es a los lados (lateroversión).

La posición normal del útero se considera en anteversoflexión.
