Uterine Birth defects

Understanding Uterine Birth Defects: Comprehensive Care at Guru Hospital

Uterine birth defects, also known as congenital uterine anomalies, are structural abnormalities of the uterus present from birth. These defects can significantly impact a woman’s reproductive health, causing issues such as infertility, recurrent miscarriages, and complications during pregnancy. Guru Hospital has established itself as a leading center for diagnosing and treating uterine birth defects, offering a range of advanced medical services and compassionate care to help women achieve successful pregnancies and improve reproductive health.

Types of Uterine Birth Defects

There are several types of uterine birth defects, each with unique characteristics and implications:

  1. Septate Uterus: Characterized by a fibrous or muscular septum dividing the uterine cavity, this defect is associated with a higher risk of miscarriage and preterm labor.
  2. Bicornuate Uterus: The uterus is heart-shaped with two cavities, which can lead to pregnancy complications and preterm delivery.
  3. Unicornuate Uterus: A one-sided uterus resulting from the incomplete development of one of the paired Müllerian ducts, leading to a smaller, less functional uterus.
  4. Didelphys Uterus: A condition where a woman has two separate uteri and cervices, often associated with duplication of the vagina.
  5. Arcuate Uterus: A mild deformity where the uterus has a slight indentation at the top, generally considered the least problematic but can still affect pregnancy outcomes.
  6. Agenesis: A rare condition where the uterus is completely absent or underdeveloped, significantly impacting fertility.

Advanced Diagnostic Techniques at Guru Hospital

Guru Hospital utilizes cutting-edge diagnostic tools to accurately identify and assess uterine birth defects. These include:

  • 3D Ultrasound: Provides detailed images of the uterine structure, allowing for precise diagnosis of anomalies.
  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): Offers a comprehensive view of the pelvic organs, helping to diagnose complex uterine abnormalities.
  • Hysterosalpingography (HSG): An X-ray procedure that involves injecting a contrast dye into the uterine cavity to visualize its shape and any blockages.

Comprehensive Treatment Options

Guru Hospital offers a range of treatment options tailored to the specific needs of each patient:

  1. Surgical Interventions: Advanced surgical techniques, such as hysteroscopic resection, can correct anomalies like a septate uterus, significantly improving the chances of a successful pregnancy, even with triplets. In Guru Hospital, we performed Complete removal of a septate uterus to facilitate natural pregnancy. For conditions like a unicornuate uterus, metroplasty is performed to enhance the likelihood of carrying a pregnancy to term successfully. This procedure has enabled many patients to achieve a full-term pregnancy. Additionally, the unification of a double uterus into a single uterus can enable natural pregnancy with our expert care. Infantile uterus due to genetic factors can result in a lack of menstrual periods even by the age of 15. For these individuals, vaginoplasty can be performed to improve their quality of life. This surgical procedure helps create a functional vaginal canal, addressing the physical and psychological impacts of the condition. These conditions are successfully treated at guru hospital, ensuring the happy pregnancy despite their uterine abnormalities.
