Symptoms of a saddle-shaped uterus

We all know that if a woman is pregnant, the fetus will grow and develop in her uterus. However, many women are often troubled by uterine malformations. Among them, the saddle-shaped uterus is a more common one among women. Sometimes it may not have any symptoms and is often ignored by women, but it will greatly cause women to have difficulty in getting pregnant or even infertility. Sometimes she also has some symptoms. In order to be able to discover and treat it in time, let’s take a look at the symptoms of the saddle-shaped uterus.

Symptoms of a saddle-shaped uterus

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. However, the reproductive system function of some patients is affected to varying degrees, and the disease is not discovered until the onset of symptoms during sexual maturity, after marriage, during pregnancy, or during delivery.

1. Abnormal menstruation

Patients with a bicornuate uterus often experience heavy menstrual flow and prolonged menstruation.

2. Post-pregnancy symptoms

After the uterus becomes pregnant, miscarriage, premature birth, or abnormal fetal position may occur.

3. Symptoms during and after delivery

A malformed uterus often coexists with myometrial dysplasia. During delivery, abnormal labor force and difficulty in cervical dilation may lead to difficult labor or even uterine rupture. Vaginal delivery may result in retained placenta, postpartum hemorrhage, or postpartum infection. Patients with a bicornuate uterus may experience bleeding after delivery due to the discharge of the decidua from the non-pregnant uterine horn.

examine

Take a detailed medical history and perform a gynecological examination. Hysterosalpingography, pelvic ultrasound and hysteroscopy can confirm the diagnosis. Reproductive organ malformations are often accompanied by urinary system malformations or lower gastrointestinal tract malformations. If necessary, intravenous pyelography or barium enema examination can be performed. When urinary tract or lower gastrointestinal tract malformations are found, a detailed examination is also required for reproductive organ malformations, including uterine malformations.

treat

1. Endocrine therapy

Taking endocrine regulating drugs according to endocrine conditions, but years of experience have shown that this treatment method has no significant effect;

2. Hysteroscopic treatment

Monopolar or bipolar electrosurgical resection is used to improve the uterine cavity morphology, and laparoscopic surgery can be used for treatment at the same time.

The above is an introduction to the symptoms of saddle-shaped uterus. After understanding it, we know that the symptoms of saddle-shaped uterus are also varied, usually with common symptoms of dysmenorrhea and irregular menstruation. If there is such a situation, we must treat it in time. Don’t always think that such a small problem does not cause much harm to the body. In fact, when women have many gynecological diseases, their leucorrhea will be abnormal. Women must observe their leucorrhea more often. If there is any abnormality, go to the hospital for treatment in time.
