The female uterus is an extremely important organ responsible for childbirth, and it bears the important responsibility of childbirth. But sometimes there may be some abnormal situations, such as a smaller uterus. What's wrong with a small uterus? The small uterus, also known as the immature uterus in medicine, refers to the normal structure and form of the uterus, but the space is very small, and the volume of the uterus develops slowly or stops, below the normal level. It is mainly caused by endocrine dysfunction, ovarian dysfunction, and developmental disorders of the mesonephric duct. So can a childish uterus conceive? Can I do in vitro fertilization? 592 Baobao Network editor provides answers for everyone.

The immature uterus is actually a type of uterine dysplasia, which is one of the common and important factors affecting female pregnancy. Women with immature uterus usually have fewer menstrual periods than normal people, and may even experience menopause or amenorrhea. In fact, in this situation, women can also get pregnant, but the likelihood of getting pregnant is very low.

Childish uterus, also known as uterine dysplasia, refers to the normal structure and morphology of the uterus, but its small size and relatively long cervix, which are important reasons for not being able to conceive. There are two common types of immature uterus in clinical practice: one is the youthful uterus, which is more common, with a ratio of approximately 1:1 between the uterine cavity and cervical canal; Another type is infantile, with a ratio of approximately 1:2 between the uterine cavity and cervical canal, and often accompanied by ovarian hypoplasia.

But not all women with a small uterus are suitable for in vitro fertilization, as a small uterus may affect the development of the fetus in the abdomen. In vitro fertilization is the process of fertilizing eggs and sperm in vitro, cultivating them into embryos, and then transferring them to the female uterus for reproduction. Therefore, if the female uterus is small, whether IVF can be performed requires further examination at the hospital.

What are the adverse effects of immature uterus on women?

1. Infertility

If the uterus is smaller than the normal uterus size by no more than 15%, and the sum of the three diameters is 12, and there are no other problems (normal ovarian ovulation), then delivery can generally be successful. Women who exceed this range and are accompanied by inflammation or ovarian ovulation problems often lead to infertility.

2. Abortion

If the female uterus is small, not only is the probability of pregnancy lower, but also due to reasons such as small uterine volume and thin endometrium, it is easy to have fetal arrest after pregnancy.

3. Menstrual disorders

Hormone levels in women with smaller uterus can also change, causing hormonal secretion to be disrupted, leading to sparse menstruation, dysmenorrhea, amenorrhea, etc.

Delayed menarche accompanied by sparse menstruation, dysmenorrhea, and even amenorrhea is often an important clinical manifestation of uterine dysplasia. It is necessary to understand the size of the uterus and whether other endocrine systems are normal, such as whether there are abnormalities or dysfunction in organs such as the thalamus, pituitary, ovaries, ovulation disorders, and basic fertility conditions. Under normal circumstances, when a woman matures, the uterus naturally has fertility. If the pituitary, hypothalamus, ovaries and other organs are abnormal, leading to endocrine dysfunction, delayed uterine development, and other secondary sexual characteristics will inevitably be affected, which can lead to infertility.
