Causes of intrauterine maldevelopment

Everyone is familiar with the uterus, which is an important area for women to give birth to the next generation. If the uterus is underdeveloped, it will affect fertility. If it is more serious, it can also prevent sperm and egg from combining. Many people want to know what causes uterine hypoplasia? Let's take a closer look at the causes of uterine hypoplasia.

1. Pregnant women themselves

(1) Maternal weight: If the weight of a pregnant woman before pregnancy does not reach 54 kg, and her weight during pregnancy is too high or too low, the probability of intrauterine growth retardation of the fetus will increase.

(2) Physical fitness of pregnant women: The physical fitness of pregnant women is an important factor. If the expectant mother is weak, especially for pregnant women with pregnancy-related kidney disease, severe anemia and heart disease, pregnancy-induced hypertension syndrome and various chronic vascular diseases, the baby she is carrying can easily suffer from malnutrition. Some infectious diseases and immune diseases can also have adverse effects on the baby's development.

(3) Pregnant women’s lifestyle habits: If a pregnant woman has a history of long-term smoking, alcoholism, drug abuse, or other bad habits before or during pregnancy, it will also increase the probability of the fetus having intrauterine growth retardation.

2. Baby

(1) History of genetic diseases or chromosomal diseases: Babies with this disease will show symptoms of intrauterine growth retardation relatively early, such as Down syndrome, Turner syndrome, etc.

(2) Infection with bacterial and viral pathogens: Infection with pathogenic microorganisms such as rubella virus, cytomegalovirus, herpes simplex virus, Toxoplasma gondii, and Treponema pallidum can also cause intrauterine growth retardation of the fetus.

(3) Multiple pregnancy: When a pregnant woman is pregnant with multiple babies, uneven nutrient distribution may also cause intrauterine growth retardation of the fetuses.

3. Placenta and umbilical cord

The placenta and umbilical cord are the links between the fetus and the mother. If there are problems with placental infarction and placental insufficiency during pregnancy, the fetus will find it difficult to obtain nutrition, which is not conducive to its growth and development. An umbilical cord that is too long, too thin, or tangled will also have an adverse effect on the fetus's absorption of nutrients.

The above content is a detailed introduction to the causes of uterine hypoplasia. I hope you will have a certain understanding after reading it. Once there is a case of uterine hypoplasia, it must be treated in time. Everyone should know that the treatment of uterine hypoplasia cannot be performed at any age or at any time. The treatment effect is best only when the uterus is in the development period.
