The small uterus has many names: it is scientifically called hypoplasia or infantilism, and the term “baby uterus” is more often used in people.
Hypoplasia is an abnormal condition of the uterus. It is expressed in its small size (compared with the norm), it can appear not only during the development of the fetus during pregnancy, but also in the early childhood of the girl. It can be either embryonic (after all, the laying of such vital organs as the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes begins even during fetal development), and virgin, child (when the formation of these two types of hypoplasia occurs later).
Little uterus: the reasons for its appearance
The reasons for the underdevelopment of the uterus are many. It happens that a small uterus develops due to malnutrition, lack of vitamins. But most often, uterine infantilism develops after poisoning, or suffered serious illnesses. The most dangerous period is considered the age from eleven to fifteen years. Indeed, it is precisely in this time range that this organ, important for every woman, is formed.
It happens that a small uterus does not develop due to the fact that the ovaries are not sufficiently developed: the egg maturation process is disrupted, the ovaries cannot produce the right amount of hormones.
With the uterus of the child, other changes in the body can also be observed: the fallopian tubes are crimped, long, with a narrow clearance, there is hypoplasia of the labia minora and labia majora, and the vagina is irregular in shape. All these changes can be detected when visiting a gynecologist, both during a special outpatient examination and inpatient.
The size of the uterus with infantilism
If the length of the uterus is from 5.5 to 7 centimeters, then infantilism is at the stage of the virgin uterus. If from 3.5 to 5.5 centimeters, then hypoplasia is at the stage of the baby uterus, if the uterus is no more than three and a half centimeters long, the diagnosis is the germinal uterus.
According to doctors, there are differences in the uterus, prone to hypoplasia and infantile. In the first case, the appearance of the organ is completely normal, only the size does not correspond to the norm. But in the second case, there may be various branches, curvatures, malformations of the uterus.
Medicamentous treatment of infantilism
If you have been diagnosed with a baby uterus, treatment can only be selected by a professional doctor. What modern medicine can offer us is the treatment of a small uterus with hormonal drugs. Why hormonal? Yes, because a lack of hormones is the main reason for the underdevelopment of the uterus.
