"Doctor, can my daughter have children in the future?"
16-year-old Xiaoli is a new first-year student. Since she was about 12 years old, all the classmates around Xiaoli have started to have menstruation one after another, but Xiaoli's aunt has not been visited. A few years ago, Xiaoli's mother always thought that her daughter was postponed due to her long-term poor diet, so she did not take this matter seriously.
Until this year, Xiaoli had celebrated her 16th birthday and became a new high school student, and she still had no menstruation. The mother was a little worried about her daughter's health, so she took her to the hospital for examination. Unexpectedly, she was told that her daughter had no uterus and vagina, which is what the people call "stone girl".
The mother who got the test result suddenly cried, and Xiaoli was also very panicked and didn't know what to do. Originally, Xiaoli was very inferior because she had no menstruation. After getting the test results, she even tended to be autistic to and . She was unwilling to speak, and even more unwilling to make friends, for fear that her classmates would know about this, so she laughed at her.
Maybe many people still don’t understand what a stone girl is when they see it. Based on Xiaoli’s situation, let’s take you to learn about the difference between a stone girl and an ordinary woman.
Stone woman, is it a woman made of stone?
For most people, they don’t know the term “stone girl” very well, and some people even mistakenly think it is a woman made of stone. In fact, Shinniao is a general term for the of the people who are congenital genital organ development deformed or abnormal in women.
According to clinical data, the incidence rate of stone women in my country has reached 1/50,000, which means that there is one stone woman patient in every 50,000 women. The incidence rate of
seems to be low, but this disease has a significant impact on children. If it has not been treated with intervention, it will need to face the problem of infertility and . Some people suddenly had a whim. Since the stone girl has a congenital developmental disorder, if abnormalities are found during pregnancy tests, wouldn’t it be enough to induce labor in time?
But in fact, because the fetus has a small reproductive organs and the continuous changes in the position of the fetus in the uterus, it is generally difficult to achieve vaginal elimination through prenatal examinations, so most "stone girls" come to the hospital for examination and confirmation because they have not had menstruation for a long time.
Clinical based on different degrees of development abnormalities in stone girls, the stone girls are divided into the following four situations. First, it refers to the abnormal development of the embryo during development, resulting in congenital hymen atresia of .
Hymen refers to a layer of film at the perineum and outer vagina of a woman. It is generally meniscus, ring, sieve, etc., with small holes in the middle. Menstrual blood flows out of the body from the holes in the film.
But congenital hymen atre refers to the complete disappearance of the hole in the hymen, causing menstrual blood to flow out of the body smoothly, so that the patient does not have the menstrual menarche, but the patient will be accompanied by periodic pain.
And as time goes by, the patient's body accumulates too much menstrual blood, and the abdominal swelling and pain will become more and more obvious.
Then, the stone girl also includes MRKH syndrome caused by congenital uterine and vaginal development abnormalities or deletion caused by embryonic dysplasia ( reproductive tract malformation syndrome ).
This is a congenital malformation caused by abnormal development of the renal duct in the paracentesis, and is one of the main reasons for the occurrence of primary amenorrhea in women during puberty.
In clinical practice, many patients have not had menstrual menarche for a long time. They went to the hospital for examination and found that they had reproductive tract deformity syndrome. Xiaoli at the beginning of the article belongs to this type of symptoms.
Moreover, complete vaginal septum is also a type of stone girl.
Vaginal diaphragm is also a type of congenital developmental defect disease. The diaphragm may occur anywhere in the vagina, hindering the flow of menstrual blood, causing menstrual blood to remain, and periodic abdominal pain. If timely intervention is not carried out, it may lead to recession of the retention of menstrual blood back into the abdominal cavity and induce secondary endometriitis.
In addition, vaginal atresia is also a type of stone girl.
It is mainly because when embryonic development, the urogenital sinus is not involved in the formation of the lower vaginal segment, resulting in vaginal insufficiency or developmental malformation . It seriously affects the outflow of menstrual blood. After menarche, menstrual blood will flow back, inducing abscesses and infections in the pelvic cavity and other parts.
After learning the above knowledge, many people are very curious. Are the stone girl really caused by congenital nature?
What causes the stone girl?
Indeed, Shinwomen are all caused by congenital abnormalities. Because the reasons are relatively complicated, medically listing the most common clinical drug abuse of and gene mutations as the main causes of sysm.
1. Drug abuse during pregnancy
As the saying goes, "It is a medicine that is three parts poisonous." Many people know that taking medicine during pregnancy requires very careful consideration and taking medicine as prescribed by the doctor. This is mainly because during pregnancy, the enzymes in the body will undergo major changes, which seriously affect the absorption and metabolism of drugs.
Especially in the early stage of pregnancy, the baby's body structure has not fully developed. If drugs are abused at this time, it will seriously affect the development status of the fetus.
Once a pregnant woman takes ibuprofen and during pregnancy, it is very likely that will lead to the development of the fetal reproductive organs and the appearance of stone girls . Therefore, it is recommended that pregnant women should consult their doctor carefully before taking medication and take medication that suits them.
If a woman needs to take anti-epileptic drugs such as phenobarbital for a long time, it is recommended to undergo pregnancy preparation examinations in advance to let the doctor determine whether the physical condition is suitable for pregnancy at this time.
If the doctor is in the medication stage and is told by the doctor that it is not recommended to prepare for pregnancy, the patient can cooperate with the doctor for active treatment first, and then start preparing for pregnancy.
2, gene mutation
gene mutation refers to the structural changes caused by the addition, deletion and replacement of by base in the DNA molecule in the human genome. There are many reasons for gene mutations in clinical practice, such as physical causes (various physical rays), chemical causes (heavy metal contamination, pesticide contamination, etc.), and biological causes (bacteria, virus).
Therefore, if a woman is affected by physical radiation and chemical contamination during pregnancy for a long time, it is very likely to lead to gene mutations, chromosomal mutations, resulting in malformations or abnormal development of fetal reproductive organs, and the appearance of stone girls.
is because of the two major reasons above that some women's lives are messy. When many people hear that the partner they date is a "stone girl", they instinctively think that they cannot get pregnant and have children, and most of them choose to break up without hesitation. Therefore, many stone girls never married and are alone.
But, can all stone girls have children? Can the stone girl return to normal through treatment?
Stone girl, can she still get married and have children?
As mentioned above, the stone girl is a general term for women who are abnormal in the development of reproductive organs, which leads to the inability to have sex normally and have children.
In fact, stone girls are also divided into "real stone girls" and "fake stone girls" and . The congenital hymen atresia, vaginal atresia and complete vaginal septum mentioned above all belong to the category of "false stone women".
Because the overall development of this type of female reproductive organs is relatively complete, only some organs of are abnormally developed . If you discover it in time during the menstrual period and actively cooperate with the doctor for surgical treatment, there is still a high possibility of recovery.
Doctors will perform symptomatic treatments for hymen puncture, artificial reconstruction, and surgical removal of transverse septum according to their situation. This can achieve a better prognosis and generally will not have a major impact on sexual intercourse and pregnancy.
For female patients with congenital uterine deletion, they cannot give birth normally because they cannot ovulate normally, but they can have normal sex. For Zhenshi women with congenital vaginal loss, because of the difficulty of having sex, they generally have no possibility of having children.
However, if it is discovered in time before menstruation, it can also be performed by using colon for vaginal reconstruction for surgical treatment.There are many successful cases of vaginal reconstruction in clinical practice, but the operation is difficult, so there are certain risks in the process. It is recommended that patients go to a regular hospital for treatment.
Whether it is a real stone girl or a fake stone girl, they all have one common characteristic, that is, they are not having menstruation for a long time, so parents and friends must pay attention that when the child still has no menstruation during the 12-15-year-old , they must be vigilant and go to the hospital for examination and judgment of the cause in time to avoid affecting the child's physical and psychological health due to natural defects.
At the same time, if the child is unfortunately diagnosed as a stone girl, parents and friends must also actively relieve the child's emotions . Because adolescent women are generally sensitive to their psychology, if they are not communicated in time, it is very likely that they will cause adverse psychological conditions such as inferiority complex and even autism, which seriously affects the children's mental health.
After the diagnosis, parents should support them through timely communication, active encouragement and other means, and help them actively cooperate with doctors for treatment with a good attitude.
Doctor Qiao has something to say
Currently, most stone girls can help them return to their normal life through surgical treatment and can get married and have children smoothly. Therefore, patients with Shimei should actively overcome inferiority complex and actively cooperate with doctors for treatment.
