Will a small uterus affect infertility?

A small uterus is one of the serious gynecological diseases, and it is important to detect and treat it early. So what is the reason for a small uterus in women? Will a small uterus affect infertility? How to determine if the uterus is small? How to treat a small uterus? The following editor will give you a detailed introduction.

What is the cause of the small uterus?

Immature uterus, uterine hypoplasia is also called small uterus, generally refers to a uterus that is still smaller than normal after puberty. Such patients are often accompanied by infrequent menstruation, amenorrhea or amenorrhea. Immature uterus (small uterus) is one of the main reasons for infertility patients to seek medical treatment in clinic. Generally, B-ultrasound is used to understand the size of the uterus, and hormone tests are used to understand whether there are problems with the endocrine system such as the pituitary gland, hypothalamus, ovaries and other organs, whether there are ovulation disorders, and whether there are basic conditions for fertility. Under normal circumstances, after a woman matures, the uterus naturally has fertility. If the pituitary gland, hypothalamus, ovaries and other organs "malfunction", the development of the uterus will be slow, and other secondary sexual characteristics will inevitably be implicated, directly leading to infertility.

Does a small uterus affect infertility?

A small uterus is one of the main reasons for infertility patients to seek medical treatment. People with a smaller uterus than normal are medically called "uterine hypoplasia", commonly known as "small uterus". Such patients are often accompanied by infrequent menstruation, amenorrhea or amenorrhea. "Uterine hypoplasia" is mainly caused by insufficient endocrine function, especially ovarian dysfunction, which often causes abnormal secretion of estrogen and progesterone. The development of the uterus requires the combined action of estrogen and progesterone. Therefore, the secretion disorder of these two hormones will hinder the normal development of the uterus. In addition to causing uterine hypoplasia, ovarian dysfunction is a greater disadvantage for pregnancy. Such patients often do not ovulate or have corpus luteum dysfunction, which causes infertility in women.

How to judge the small uterus

Only when the length, width and thickness of the uterus measured by B-ultrasound are less than 5 cm, 4 cm and 2 cm respectively, can "uterine hypoplasia" be diagnosed. Professional "vaginal ultrasound" is more accurate than ordinary abdominal ultrasound. It should be noted that it is absolutely not advisable to make a rash diagnosis based on simple B-ultrasound measurements or even gynecological internal examinations alone.

Another way to measure the size of the uterus is to measure the capacity of the uterus. If the capacity is less than 5 ml, it can be diagnosed as "uterine hypoplasia." This diagnostic method requires injecting liquid into the uterine cavity for measurement, which is somewhat painful.

How to treat a small uterus

For patients who have been diagnosed with "uterine hypoplasia", except for a few patients who are congenital developmental disorders and difficult to treat, most patients have good treatment effects. Therefore, to achieve better therapeutic effects, it is also necessary to determine whether uterine hypoplasia is a congenital developmental disorder. After excluding this, Chinese and Western medicines can be used for treatment.

Chinese medicine treatment. That is, the so-called "cycle therapy" is used to supplement the deficiency of estrogen and progesterone to stimulate the development of the uterus. Although this method can promote the development of a small uterus, it cannot change the condition of anovulation. Therefore, it is not effective for infertility.

Diagnosis of the etiology of the pregnancy environment + new generation of uterine cavity dilation + uterine cavity stent technology. That is, a new generation of uterine cavity dilation is performed under the combination of and, with a pear-shaped stent for biological anti-adhesion after surgery, and normal menstruation and the ability to get pregnant can be restored after surgery.
