Patient's question:
Screening process for infantile uterus/primitive amenorrhea: Never experienced growth before the age of 17, no development of secondary sexual characteristics, no menstruation. The first visit to the hospital for a thorough examination revealed abnormal levels of six hormones, normal chromosomes, and a smaller-than-normal uterus and ovaries. The doctor diagnosed it as an infantile uterus and prescribed Progynova. Afterward, I also obtained traditional Chinese medicine from a TCM clinic.A year ago, I felt that not taking medication was irresponsible towards myself, especially since I am still young and should seize the opportunity for treatment. If I want to have children, what would the process be like, and is it likely that I could successfully give birth? After getting pregnant, would I still need to take hormone medication?
Doctor's answer:
In your case, it is mainly due to the low hormone levels in your body that lead to uterine underdevelopment. The treatment duration for this condition varies greatly among individuals. Generally, a follow-up test for six hormone indicators is required after three months, combined with a detailed ultrasound examination of the uterus, ovaries, and endometrium. It is recommended to consume a variety of high-quality protein-rich foods daily. The above is advice for this issue. We hope it will be helpful to you, and wish you a speedy recovery!
