Patient's question:
What is a trace uterus?Doctor's answer:
Hello, rudimentary uterus, also known as a streak uterus, is caused by the cessation of development shortly after the fusion of the two paramesonephric ducts during the congenital development of the uterus. It is often associated with the absence of a vagina, a very small uterus, no uterine cavity, and the inability to menstruate or conceive. Currently, there are no effective treatments for a rudimentary uterus.In women with a streak uterus, ovarian development is usually normal. It is recommended that you undergo an ultrasound examination to assess the size of the ovaries and monitor for normal ovulation. If the ovarian function is normal and there is normal ovulation, eggs can be retrieved for in vitro fertilization (IVF) with a gestational carrier (a woman with a normal uterus) to have a baby.
