We all know that women's menstrual cycle originates from the uterus, which is also the organ that nurtures the fetus. Under normal circumstances, the shape of the uterus is an inverted triangle. But there are also many women with abnormal uterine shapes, such as a tubular uterus. Can this tubular uterus be used to conceive?
A tubular uterus is not completely incapable of pregnancy, but its appearance can to some extent affect pregnancy.
The tubular uterus is mostly caused by adhesions in the uterine cavity. The occurrence of intrauterine adhesions is inevitably due to damage to the endometrium, which is most commonly caused by miscarriage infections or other iatrogenic injuries.
Having undergone abortion surgery or uterine curettage can lead to a decrease in estrogen levels in patients, ultimately affecting endometrial hyperplasia. Endometrial adhesions caused by infectious factors are commonly seen in endometrial tuberculosis, and chronic endometritis can sometimes also cause intrauterine adhesions. Some patients have a mediastinal uterus or are susceptible to uterine adhesions due to genetic factors.
Uterine adhesions require treatment with hysteroscopy or laparotomy depending on the severity of the condition. In addition, uterine fibroids can also change the shape of the uterus in some cases, leading to the appearance of a tubular uterus. Regardless of the cause, a tubular uterus can affect pregnancy, so women should pay attention to preventing gynecological diseases in their daily lives and not regret it when it affects pregnancy.
