An 11-year-old girl in Ningbo often suffers from stomachaches. The doctor was dumbfounded when she checked… She may have lost her fertility function.

Dysmenorrhea is a common gynecological problem, but the dysmenorrhea of ​​11-year-old girl Xiao Liu (pseudonym) is unusual. She had her menarche half a year ago, and began to experience lower abdominal distension and pain more than a month ago. After going to the hospital for a checkup, she discovered that Xiao Liu actually had two uteruses and was missing a kidney. Six months ago, 11-year-old girl Xiao Liu had her menarche, everything was normal, and she didn\’t feel anything wrong. However, a few months later, she discovered that she would have \”menstrual dysmenorrhea\”. When her period came, she would feel a dull distension and pain in her lower abdomen. Xiao Liu\’s first menstrual cramps were mild, and she and her family didn\’t take it seriously. However, her second menstrual cramps were so severe that she couldn\’t go to school because of the bloating and pain in her stomach. The family took Xiao Liu to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment, and they accepted conventional treatments for dysmenorrhea, but none of them worked. At Ningbo Women and Children\’s Hospital, the doctor performed a B-ultrasound examination on Xiao Liu and found that Xiao Liu actually had two uteruses! Not only that, there was a cystic mass measuring 13 cm by 8 cm in her right cervical canal. And there is no right kidney or ureter, which means she is born with only one kidney. In order to figure out Xiao Liu\’s problem, she was admitted to the hospital. After detailed examination and review of relevant information, Zhang Weifeng, deputy chief physician of the Department of Gynecology of the Municipal Women and Children\’s Hospital, finally diagnosed Xiao Liu as suffering from oblique vaginal septum syndrome. What is \”sloping vaginal septum syndrome\”? According to Dr. Zhang Weifeng, this is a rare congenital reproductive system malformation, with a prevalence rate of one in 100,000. Xiao Liu has two uteruses and one vagina. Because there is an extra \”wall\” in the vagina, after menstruation in the right uterus, menstrual blood accumulates in the closed vagina, and more and more accumulates to form a large mass. In other words, half a year after Xiao Liu\’s menarche, the blood in the left uterus was being discharged, while the blood in the right uterus was blocked. Because the blood volume was low in the first few months, Xiao Liu had no obvious symptoms in the first few months after menarche. Only when the blood accumulated more and more did he start to experience lower abdominal distension and pain. The blood blocked in Xiao Liu\’s right uterus must be dealt with in time, otherwise the menstrual blood may flow back into the abdominal cavity to form an abscess, causing infertility, and surgery must be performed as soon as possible. Recently, Xiao Liu\’s surgery was successfully completed, and the whole process only took half an hour. The blood loss during the operation was only 5ml. Not only was the excess oblique septum almost completely removed and the two uteruses were preserved, but about 150ml of blood accumulated \”behind the wall\” was also removed. After the operation, the hymen was basically intact. Xiao Liu was able to get out of bed and move around on the day after the operation. It is understood that the incidence of twin uterus is only about three thousandths, and the probability of \”oblique vaginal septum syndrome\” like Xiao Liu\’s is even lower. Doctors remind girls that if they find severe periodic abdominal pain, they should go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time. Once there is a reproductive tract malformation, if it is discovered too late and other pathological changes occur, the damage will increase and the reproductive function may be lost.
