Can a small uterus affect fertility?

Generally, whether a small uterus affects fertility depends on the underlying cause and specific circumstances. If the uterus is only slightly smaller than average but functions normally, and the condition results from individual variation rather than disease, it typically does not affect fertility. However, if the small uterus is caused by an illness that leads to functional impairment, fertility may be affected. Individuals experiencing discomfort should seek medical attention promptly. The detailed analysis is as follows:

If the uterus is only mildly undersized, with normal endocrine function and regular menstrual cycles, and the condition is primarily due to individual differences without any associated significant disease, fertility is generally unaffected. In such cases, the slight reduction in uterine size does not interfere with the menstrual cycle or ovulation, and women can still achieve successful pregnancies and deliver healthy babies.

If a small uterus results from medical conditions such as chromosomal abnormalities, endometritis, or endometriosis, and presents symptoms like amenorrhea (absence of menstruation) or endocrine disorders, fertility may be impaired. In these cases, patients may experience absent periods or insufficient secretion of estrogen and progesterone, increasing the risks of miscarriage, preterm birth, or infertility. Patients are advised to follow medical guidance for treatment using medications such as diethylstilbestrol tablets, progesterone capsules, or Heche Dazao Pills.

Patients are encouraged to maintain a balanced diet, appropriately supplement protein, vitamins, and trace elements, and avoid staying up late, overexertion, or excessive stress and anxiety, all of which contribute to maintaining overall health.
