Patient's question:
My mother is 44 years old this year. She stopped menstruating in July and after 4 months, her period returned in November and December. However, the duration of each period lasted over ten days, and this happened twice. The ultrasound results showed a uterine malformation and thickening of the endometrial lining. After she underwent a D&C procedure, the doctor suspected endometrial cancer. Is this possible? She does not experience abdominal pain when she has her period.Doctor's answer:
Hello, uterine malformation: Congenital uterine developmental abnormalities are the most common type of genital organ malformation and also have significant clinical implications. During the evolutionary process, the bilateral paramesonephric ducts may stop developing at different stages due to certain influencing factors and disturbances, leading to various developmental abnormalities of the uterus. The occurrence of uterine infertility not only affects a woman's health but also leads to the development of gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo an ultrasound examination in the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. In daily life, it is important to drink more water and pay attention to personal hygiene.
