Müllerian Anomalies

Uterine malformations are the result of abnormal development of the Müllerian ducts (those responsible for the formation of the female reproductive system) during a woman's prenatal development and can affect fertility.

Approximately 1% of women have uterine malformations, however, only 25% of these patients have reproductive problems.

Causes


Alterations that occur during the process of development and fusion of the müllerian ducts give rise to uterine or müllerian malformations.


Most of these malformations are congenital and in some cases are inherited. However, they can also be acquired as a result of foetal exposure to radiation, infections or drugs such as diethylstilbestrol and thalidomide.

Symptoms

Chronic pelvic pain
Pain during sexual intercourse
Dysmenorrhoea (painful menstrual periods)
Amenorrhoea (absence of menstruation)
Menorrhagia (heavy menstrual periods)
Abdominal swelling, especially during menstruation
Endometriosis
Infertility
Recurrent gestational loss
Parto prematuro
Complications during childbirth

Diagnosis

The most reliable test for the diagnosis of uterine malformations is the Gynecological vaginal ultrasound, during which the doctor inserts a probe into the woman's vagina in order to examine her reproductive organs.

Can I have a baby if I have müllerian anomalies?

Each of the müllerian anomalies requires a specific treatment. However, the best way to have your baby at home is In Vitro fertilization (IVF), which makes it possible to aspirate the eggs directly from the ovaries, fertilize them in a laboratory and place the embryos with the greatest implantation power in the widest cavity of the woman's uterus.
Our Multicycle Programs are the best option to fulfill your dream with up to 4 In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) attempts to give you the maximum peace of mind and security that you will have your baby at home.
