How to diagnose congenital uterine malformations

At present, medical technology is very advanced, but there are still cases where some patients are misdiagnosed. Congenital uterine malformation is a serious disease, and once you have it, you may become infertile. Therefore, when we diagnose congenital uterine malformation, we treat it the same way as when we diagnose cancer. We can’t believe it is true and may have done something wrong. To this end, let’s take a look at how to diagnose congenital uterine malformations.

Uterine malformation, also known as uterine malformation, is a congenital disease and the most common type of reproductive organ malformation. Some patients with uterine malformation may not have any conscious symptoms, and there are no abnormal manifestations in menstruation, sexual life, pregnancy, and childbirth, so they may not be discovered throughout their lives, or may be discovered occasionally during a physical examination.

During the formation and differentiation of female reproductive organs, due to certain endogenous factors (such as nondisjunction of germ cell chromosomes, mosaicism, karyotype abnormalities, etc.) or exogenous factors (such as the use of sex hormone drugs, etc.), the differentiation and development of primitive gonads, fusion of the primordial elements of the internal reproductive organs, duct cavification and development may change, leading to various developmental abnormalities. Abnormalities caused by incomplete development of the paramesonephric duct derivatives will lead to abnormal development of the uterus and fallopian tubes, such as absence of uterus, absence of vagina, primordial uterus, uterine hypoplasia, unicornuate uterus, etc., and fusion disorders of the paramesonephric duct derivatives will lead to developmental abnormalities such as double uterus, bicornuate uterus, saddle uterus and septate uterus.

diagnosis

1. Ultrasound examination

One of the most commonly used obstetric and gynecological examination methods, it uses ultrasound imaging to display the cross-sectional morphology of the examined area and its relationship with surrounding organs.

2. Magnetic resonance imaging

Magnetic resonance imaging uses the signals generated by the resonance of atomic nuclei in a magnetic field to reconstruct images. This method is considered to be the best way to examine uterine malformations.

3. Hysterosalpingography

The contrast agent is introduced into the uterus and fallopian tubes through a catheter, and then X-rays are taken to show the shape of the uterine cavity and fallopian tubes.

4. Laparoscopy

It is a minimally invasive surgery that uses a laparoscope and its camera and imaging system to visually examine the uterus and fallopian tubes.

The above is an introduction to the diagnosis method of congenital uterine malformation. If the above examinations are conducted in a regular hospital, the probability of misdiagnosis is very low. For congenital uterine malformation, the main treatment method is drug therapy. It should be pointed out that curing congenital uterine malformation requires active diet and exercise conditioning.
