Hi , It sounds like your uterus is enlarged by fibroids (I had 16 of them  ) . They can push on other structures in the pelvis and displace them out of position , depending on the size and location.

Best wishes Angie

I am sorry but I cannot help you with exlaining the wording here. Hopefully someone will see this that can but if not, you might also want to try on the ovarian cyst forum. Surely between the two, someone will be able to help.
  good luck,
