The anterior point for Uterus is at which landmark?

The uterus sits in the true pelvis with its anterior surface oriented toward the bladder, so its most forward point aligns with the lower anterior pelvis. The inferior pubic ramus is the most anterior bony landmark in that area, making it the correct reference point for the anterior point of the uterus. In palpation or visceral techniques, this landmark helps you target the forward-facing aspect of the uterus. The other landmarks are not in the anterior pelvic region where the uterus presents, so they don’t correspond to the uterus’ anterior point.
