What are the types of abnormal uterine development? How to prevent the occurrence of uterine diseases

Abnormal uterine development is a disease that we should pay attention to, with many types of occurrence and great harm. After abnormalities, we should immediately check and prevent them in daily life.

Types of uterine developmental abnormalities

1. Primordial uterus: also known as trace uterus. This is because the development of the accessory renal ducts on both sides stops shortly after merging. This type of uterus is very small, only 1-3 centimeters long, and because there is no endometrium, there is no menstruation, often accompanied by no vagina.

2. Mediastinal uterus: Both sides of the accessory mesonephric ducts can be used, but the mediastinum has not degenerated. The appearance of the uterus is normal, with two parts of the uterine septum. Incomplete degeneration of the mediastinum leads to the formation of an incomplete mediastinal uterus. When the mediastinum extends to the vagina, it can also form a vaginal mediastinum.

3. Congenital absence of uterus: It is due to the underdevelopment of the middle segment of the accessory renal ducts on both sides, which fails to synthesize into a uterus. Patients often do not have a vagina, but their ovaries develop normally and their secondary sexual characteristics are not affected.

4. Double horn uterus: Most of the ends of the accessory mesonephric ducts fuse, the mediastinum degenerates, forming a single cervix or vagina. The bottom of the uterus is incomplete, and the shape of the uterus is double horn, hence it is called a double horn uterus or saddle shaped uterus.

5. Double uterus: mostly double uterus, double cervix, and double vagina. It is caused by the lack of convergence of the accessory renal ducts on both sides.

6. Uniangular uterus: One side of the accessory renal ducts on both sides is fully developed, while the other side is underdeveloped or not fully developed. It can be a residual horn uterus, which means only the uterine cavity has no uterine opening.

7. Uterine dysplasia: also known as immature uterus. After the merger of the accessory mesonephric ducts on both sides, the development stops for a short period of time. The cervix is relatively long, with a smaller outer opening, and the uterus is normally smaller. There are often infertility, oligomenorrhea, or irregular menstruation.

Factors contributing to abnormal uterine development

1. Endocrine factors. Endocrine balance is essential for the normal growth of the body. Many patients with uterine dysplasia suffer from endocrine problems, leading to insufficient secretion of estrogen and progesterone, resulting in ovarian dysfunction. Therefore, adjusting the endocrine system is also crucial for uterine dysplasia.

2. Poor nutrition or factors such as diseases can lead to poor uterine development. The impact of malnutrition and chronic diseases during female adolescence can easily lead to reproductive organ development, ovarian hormone deficiency, and uterine dysplasia.
