Uterine or Cervical Abnormalities

Uterine or cervical abnormalities can significantly impact a woman's reproductive health, leading to issues such as infertility, recurrent miscarriages, and complications during pregnancy.

Types of Uterine or Cervical Abnormalities

At MMC IVF, we check for various types of abnormalities that can affect the uterus or cervix, including:

  • Congenital Uterine Anomalies:

    • Septate uterus

    • Bicornuate uterus

    • Unicornuate uterus

    • Didelphys uterus

  • Acquired Uterine Conditions:

    • Fibroids

    • Polyps

    • Adenomyosis

    • Asherman's syndrome (intrauterine adhesions)

  • Cervical Abnormalities:

    • Cervical stenosis (narrowing of the cervix)

    • Cervical incompetence (weak cervix leading to premature birth)

Symptoms of Uterine or Cervical Abnormalities

Common symptoms include:

  • Irregular menstrual cycles

  • Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding

  • Pelvic pain or pressure

  • Recurrent miscarriages

  • Difficulty conceiving

  • Pain during intercourse

Diagnosis of Uterine or Cervical Abnormalities

At MMC IVF, we diagnose uterine or cervical abnormalities through a combination of medical history, physical exams, and advanced diagnostic methods, including:

  • Ultrasound:

    • Transvaginal or abdominal ultrasound to visualize the uterus and cervix.

  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI):

    • Detailed imaging to assess the structure of the uterus and cervix.

  • Hysterosalpingography (HSG):

    • An X-ray procedure to check the inside of the uterus and fallopian tubes.

  • Hysteroscopy:

    • A procedure using a small camera to examine the inside of the uterus.

  • Laparoscopy:

    • A minimally invasive surgical procedure to view the outside of the uterus and other pelvic organs.

Treatment Options for Uterine or Cervical Abnormalities

Treating uterine or cervical abnormalities requires a personalized approach based on the specific condition and the patient's fertility goals. Here are some options we offer:

  • Medications:

    • Hormonal therapies to regulate menstrual cycles and reduce symptoms.

  • Minimally Invasive Procedures:

    • Hysteroscopic surgery to remove polyps, fibroids, or adhesions.

    • Cervical cerclage to treat cervical incompetence.

  • Surgical Interventions:

    • Myomectomy to remove fibroids while preserving the uterus.

    • Metroplasty to correct congenital uterine anomalies.

  • Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART):

    • In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) to help achieve pregnancy if structural abnormalities affect fertility.
