What is congenital uterine malformation?

Congenital uterine malformation is a common disease in gynecological outpatient clinics. Some patients with congenital uterine malformation have no symptoms and complete important parts of life such as pregnancy and childbirth like ordinary women. However, it is more troublesome for female friends who find abnormal symptoms to go to the hospital for treatment, because this disease can bring many adverse effects, even infertility. Let's take a look at what it means to have congenital uterine malformation.

Uterine malformation, also known as uterine developmental abnormalities, 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.

The above are several factors that cause congenital uterine malformations. I hope that female friends suffering from this disease will not lose confidence in life. Today's medical technology is very advanced. It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination first, find out the specific cause according to your own symptoms, and then conduct professional symptomatic treatment. After treatment, most patients can resume normal female life.
