UTERINE ANOMALIES IN GIRLS AND THEIR EARLY DIAGNOSIS

Abstract

Uterine anomalies represent one of the most significant developmental disorders affecting the female reproductive system from early childhood. These congenital or acquired abnormalities occur due to the incomplete fusion or malformation of Müllerian ducts during the embryonic stage, which leads to various structural deformities of the uterus. Such conditions, although often asymptomatic in early life, can later cause menstrual irregularities, chronic pelvic pain, infertility, and pregnancy complications if left undiagnosed. This research explores the types, etiological factors, and clinical manifestations of uterine anomalies in girls, emphasizing the importance of early detection. Advances in diagnostic imaging technologies, such as ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and hysteroscopy, have significantly improved the precision of identifying these anomalies during childhood and adolescence. Moreover, the study highlights the roles of genetic, hormonal, and environmental factors in the pathogenesis of these conditions. Early diagnosis plays a vital role in preventing long-term reproductive complications and improving the quality of life for affected individuals. Multidisciplinary collaboration among pediatricians, endocrinologists, and pediatric gynecologists is essential for effective diagnosis and management. Raising awareness among parents and healthcare professionals regarding subtle clinical signs and preventive screening measures is equally important. By integrating modern diagnostic approaches with preventive care, early intervention can ensure proper reproductive development and mitigate potential complications in adulthood. This paper provides a comprehensive review of current literature, clinical practices, and diagnostic strategies related to uterine anomalies in girls, underscoring the necessity of timely medical evaluation and follow-up.
