The physical health of women directly affects pregnancy, and the female uterus is responsible for carrying the weight of pregnancy. Therefore, once there is an abnormality in the uterus, especially in the preconception period, women will be very anxious. For example, the discovery of uterine diverticulum has caused concern among many people, which is why many women preparing for pregnancy are asking: Can uterine diverticulum cause infertility?
The appearance of uterine diverticulum is a depression at the site where the incision and the uterine cavity communicate due to poor healing of the incision. Generally, after cesarean section or other damaging uterine cavity diseases, this situation is prone to complications. This symptom can affect female fertility, and patients may also experience continuous menstrual bleeding after their period. So this situation should be taken seriously and patients need to go to the hospital for further examination in a timely manner to understand the specific reasons for thorough treatment.
The specific cause of uterine diverticulum is not yet clear. Cesarean section often chooses a transverse incision in the lower segment of the uterus, which may be located in the cervix and lower segment of the uterine body where the muscle layer structure is different and the thickness of the upper and lower edges of the incision is inconsistent. Poor healing during suturing can lead to uterine diverticulum. Postoperative bacterial infection at the incision site can lead to poor healing, resulting in uterine diverticulum. The more cesarean sections occur, the greater the risk of diverticulum formation.
If there is a uterine diverticulum, it can lead to prolonged menstrual periods, which can affect the treatment of marital life. It may also cause inflammation of the endometrium, affecting the better implantation of fertilized eggs. If this condition persists for too long, it may lead to infertility in some women. Therefore, this disease should not be taken lightly. We should pay more attention to physical health, rest, and avoid premature sexual activity after childbirth to effectively prevent uterine diverticulum.
