Patient's question:
I've been married for a year and a half, and I haven't had a baby yet. Moreover, my mother-in-law has been putting a lot of pressure on me. In June of this year, I had a check-up at the hospital and was told that my uterus is deformed. Can I still have a child? If not, I should consider whether I should divorce my husband.Doctor's answer:
Hello! Can uterine malformation affect a woman's fertility? It primarily depends on the level of malformation. Some have minimal impact, while others can cause severe effects, leading to female infertility. As one of the most important reproductive organs in women, the uterus plays a significant role in reproductive physiology and endocrine functions. It is a target organ for ovarian hormones and has functions such as storing and transporting sperm, sperm capacitation, fertilization, fetal development, and childbirth. If the uterus is underdeveloped or malformed, it can have a certain adverse effect on fertility. A malformed uterus is less receptive to semen and sperm, thereby affecting sperm capacitation and fertilization.
