Patient's question:
I haven't had my period since I first got it at the age of 14. My mom said it's normal for it to come back within a certain time frame, but as I grew up, I learned more. So, I secretly went to the hospital without my mom's knowledge for a check-up. The doctor said I have an immature uterus.Doctor's answer:
Uterine hypoplasia, also known as "immature uterus," refers to a condition where the uterus remains smaller than normal size after puberty, commonly known as "small uterus." Delayed menarche accompanied by menstrual oligomenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, or even menstrual irregularities are often significant manifestations of uterine hypoplasia. In some cases, uterine hypoplasia may be accompanied by ovarian hypoplasia and anovulation. You can check the size of your uterus and your endocrine status to clarify the specific condition. Once the condition is diagnosed, targeted treatment can be administered.
