Versions Notes
We appreciate the interest in our paper, and we are grateful for the comment by Orsi et al., ‘Incarceration of the gravid uterus: proposal for a shared definition’. They proposed that both symptomatic cases at any gestational age and asymptomatic full-term cases should be included in the definition.
However, symptoms in early trimesters might be caused not only by incarceration itself, but also by the retroflexed and/or retroverted uterus. Moreover, the paramount message of our paper was that awareness and enlightenment for the sustained incarceration should be emphasized, because this condition may lead to severe perinatal outcomes [1]. We consider that the choice of 16 weeks of gestation as an inclusion threshold is reasonable.
