Symptoms of uterine hypoplasia, remember this knowledge!

If a woman's uterus is underdeveloped, the related functions of the uterus may be lost. For example, the woman's menstruation may be disordered. In severe cases, it may lead to female infertility and even more uterine diseases. The following is a detailed introduction to the symptoms of uterine hypoplasia.

1. Abnormal menstruation:

Patients with primordial uterus or without uterus experience puberty without menstruation, which is manifested as primary amenorrhea. A young uterus may produce scant menstrual flow. In patients with double uterus, bicornuate uterus and duplicate uterus, menorrhagia or prolonged menstruation may occur due to the increase in endometrial area. A rudimentary uterine horn may cause periodic lower abdominal pain due to uterine hemorrhage. If the rudimentary horn of the uterus enlarges, it can easily be mistaken for an ovarian cyst clinically.

2. Infertility:

Most people with no uterus, primordial uterus, or immature uterus seek medical treatment for infertility, and the presence of menstrual abnormalities can be noticed before seeking medical treatment for infertility.

3. Pathological pregnancy:

Patients with uterine hypoplasia are prone to complications during pregnancy. For example, the fertilized egg implants on the underdeveloped uterine wall or septum, which will affect the development of the embryo and can lead to early miscarriage, habitual miscarriage, premature birth, etc. If the fertilized egg implants in the rudimentary horn of the uterus, it will usually rupture during the 4th to 5th month of pregnancy. In the late stages of pregnancy, abnormal fetal positions such as breech presentation, transverse presentation, and oblique presentation are very likely to occur in patients with a bicornuate uterus, unicornuate uterus, or saddle uterus, leading to dystocia. After a double uterus pregnancy, the pregnant uterus may sometimes twist, or cause obstructive dystocia.

4. Pathology during and after delivery:

An abnormally developed uterus is often accompanied by uterine muscle hypoplasia, which can easily lead to dystocia and spontaneous uterine rupture. Placental retention and postpartum uterine atony bleeding are common after delivery. Didelphic uterus, bicornuate uterus and uterus with septate uterus can lead to postpartum bleeding, etc.
