Hypoplasia of the uterus 1 degree

Hypoplasia of the uterus 1 degree means that the uterus does not correspond to the age dimension. That is, the size of the organ is smaller than it should be in the norm. In this case, the main function of the uterus is difficult.

Causes and manifestations

And different situations can lead to this, such as frequent infectious diseases, neuropsychological and physical overstrain, intoxications by various substances. Congenital insufficiency of the hypothalamic-pituitary system and ovaries is also not excluded. And this is accompanied by a deficiency of the corresponding hormones. Hypoplasia of the uterine body of the 1st degree is accompanied by a decrease in the size of the cervix. Clinically, this condition is manifested by the following symptoms:

1. Violations of the menstrual cycle.

4. Caution should be the absence or slow appearance of secondary sexual characteristics in adolescence, as well as the later onset of menstruation.
