The four ligaments of the uterus are the round ligament, broad ligament, cardinal ligament, and sacral ligament. The cardinal ligament controls the uterus at the level of the ischial spine to prevent uterine prolapse. The round ligament keeps the uterus in anteversion and forward flexion. The sacral ligament plays an important role in maintaining the position of the uterus. In addition, the broad ligament is a pair of thin, two-layered ligaments that keep the uterus from swinging left to right. The main function of all these four ligaments is to keep the uterus in the center of the pelvis and maintain a forward bending position. Usually exercise more to strengthen your resistance.
