The uterus is a symbol of a woman's second life. If there is no uterus or if the uterus is underdeveloped, women may face infections from gynecological diseases and may not be able to conceive and have children. Some women may find themselves with uterine malformations during examinations. How can this be caused?
How is uterine malformation caused
Women with uterine malformations can actually be caused by various factors. The specific causes of female uterine malformations are as follows:
1. Abnormal uterine development in women, caused by the rapid cessation of development after the convergence of the accessory mesonephric ducts on both sides of the uterus. If a woman has a long cervix and a small cervix, she may experience symptoms such as infertility and menstrual irregularities.
2. Congenital absence of uterus, due to the lack of development of the middle segments of the bilateral mesonephric ducts, they cannot synthesize into a uterus, resulting in the absence of a vagina in women.
3. Caused by the mediastinal uterus, the accessory mesonephric ducts on both sides of the uterus have fully converged, but the mediastinum has not degenerated. If the mediastinum has not fully degenerated, an incomplete mediastinal uterus will form. If the mediastinum extends to the vagina, it will also form the vaginal mediastinum.
Can uterine malformation lead to pregnancy
Generally speaking, uterine malformations can affect embryo implantation because there must be a certain amount of space for the embryo to implant. Whether uterine malformations will affect female pregnancy depends on the type and degree of malformation. If the uterine malformation is mediastinal, it can affect pregnancy and requires surgery. But if it is a saddle shaped malformation, the impact is relatively small after treatment. Therefore, it is recommended that women with uterine malformations cooperate with doctors to undergo proper examinations in order to receive the most accurate treatment.
How to treat uterine malformation
What are the methods and techniques for treating uterine malformations? Can women conceive normally after treatment? Usually, women can determine the type of uterine malformation through ultrasound examination, laparoscopy, or hysteroscopy. If it is a uterine malformation of the mediastinum, hysteroscopy surgery is needed to remove the diaphragm, which can maximize the fertility of women.
