Most women perceive the diagnosis of "saddle uterus" as a terrible sentence and consider themselves to be in the "infertile" group. In order to understand whether this is really so or not, you need to find out what kind of disease it is, what effect it has and whether it is possible to become pregnant with a saddle uterus.
Instructions
Step 1
The saddle uterus is a kind of anomaly of the woman's reproductive system, which consists in changing the structure of the uterus. It has a slightly different shape, the features of which are a flattened bottom and expansion across. If you look at such a uterus in section, then its shape resembles a saddle. The causes of this disease are still not known for certain. With confidence, our medicine can only assert the fact that this pathology begins to appear as early as 14 weeks of intrauterine development of the fetus.
Step 2
It should be noted right away that pregnancy and the saddle uterus are completely compatible concepts, since the presence of this disease does not pose a threat to health either for the mother or for the child. If the uterus has slight changes in shape, then this has practically no effect on the conception of a child and does not cause difficulties either during fertilization or during pregnancy. During the period of gestation, all processes proceed in the same way as in a healthy woman.
Step 3
It is possible to talk about infertility only when the saddle shape of the uterus is pronounced. In most cases, with this degree of disease, the ovum cannot properly gain a foothold due to the shape of the uterus. With this diagnosis, the placenta does not attach correctly. This is due to the fact that placentation in this form of the uterus can be low or lateral due to the lack of the necessary site at the bottom of the uterus. Also, when the uterus is saddle, the ovum can be attached, but incorrectly, which leads to miscarriage and premature birth. In some cases, partial placental abruption is observed, which is accompanied by profuse bleeding. In addition, this diagnosis is accompanied by pain in the bladder. The formation of the pelvis in women with this anomaly is accompanied by poor development, which leads to improper placement of the fetus in case of pregnancy.
Step 4
With a strongly pronounced saddle, childbirth is also impaired. Post-term pregnancy is no exception. Due to the fact that the uterus has non-standard shapes, the formation of nerve impulses in it is also disrupted. The absence of normal birth impulses leads to the fact that the woman will need to have a cesarean section.
Step 5
Patients with this diagnosis should be closely monitored by doctors - from the antenatal clinic to the maternity hospital, because surgery may be required at any time. If the pregnancy is full-term, then there are no health threats to the child. In the early postpartum period, the saddle uterus also reminds of itself. In connection with the violation of the contractile process of the uterus, due to its irregular shape, bleeding is observed.
Step 6
Those women who cannot become pregnant with this diagnosis are advised to undergo an operation with which this defect can be eliminated. A similar operation is performed without unnecessary breaks through natural pathways. It does not require prolonged anesthesia. The likelihood of getting pregnant and carrying a healthy child after surgery increases several times.
