Can congenital uterine malformation affect fertility?

The uterus is one of the female reproductive organs. Everyone knows that the palace where the fetus grows is the uterus. During pregnancy, everyone should be positive and optimistic and maintain a good attitude. But some women are born with congenital malformations of their uterus. Some deformities do not have a significant impact on fertility, while some deformities may lead to infertility. This requires careful inspection. Let’s see whether uterine malformation will affect fertility.

The uterus plays an extremely important role in reproductive physiology and reproductive endocrine function. It is the target organ of ovarian hormones and has functions such as storage and transportation of sperm, sperm capacitation, egg implantation, fetal development, and delivery. Uterine hypoplasia and malformation may have the following adverse effects on fertility:

An abnormal uterus cannot easily accept semen and sperm, thus affecting sperm capacitation and conception. Due to the poor development of the myometrium and endometrium and the abnormal morphology and volume of the uterus, it is not conducive to sperm survival, fertilized egg implantation and embryonic and fetal development. A malformed uterus can cause abnormal placental attachment and development.

Treatment method:

1. Although uterine malformation has certain adverse effects on fertility, it does not mean that you are infertile. If the ovarian function is normal, and the patient has a double uterus, a saddle uterus, a septate uterus, etc., as long as the uterine cavity volume is not too small, pregnancy and delivery are possible without special treatment.

2. If there is combined endocrine dysfunction or anovulation, a combination of Chinese and Western medicine can be used to regulate the endocrine system and promote ovulation treatment so that there are certain levels of estrogen and progesterone in the body, thereby promoting the development and growth of the uterus, which is beneficial to conception and embryo implantation and development.

3. For women with single cervix, double uterus, bicornuate uterus, and septate uterus who suffer from infertility due to the small uterine cavity volume affecting embryo development, uterine correction surgery can be considered to form a single uterus and increase the volume of the single uterus to facilitate the movement and combination of sperm and egg, as well as the implantation of the fertilized egg in the uterus and the development of the embryo. However, this type of surgery may cause postoperative intrauterine adhesions, which may become a new factor of infertility, and may also cause complications such as postoperative pregnancy uterine scars.

Well, I have already explained the problem of uterine malformation very thoroughly. Let's not ignore this issue anymore. Women should undergo a detailed premarital examination before getting married, especially paying more attention to fertility. If a problem is found, it should be treated actively. After all, most women still hope to have their own baby. Children are still very important in the family.
