Introduction
Cervical atresia is caused by the painless dilation of the cervix and the inability to lock in, causing the amniotic membrane to prolapse and resulting in a potential water rupture and subsequently, a miscarriage. This situation occurs in the midstof pregnancy, and will cause repeated abortion in the middle of pregnancy, also can be said to be late habitual abortion. Cervical atresia is classified into congenital and secondary cervical insufficiency. Congenital cervical atresia is rare in clinic due to the formation or incomplete fusion of the lower segment of the bilateral accessory middle renal duct. Clinical manifestations are induced abortion or cervicitis treatment, amenorrhea accompanied by periodic lower abdominal pain.
Etiology of cervical atresia
Cervical atresia is mainly caused by congenital cervical dysplasia and acquired cervical injury. Congenital cervical atresia accounts for about 30%-50%. Acquired causes are mostly associated with surgery or having experienced conical cervical resection in the early stage of cervical cancer. Cervical atresia is not all one of the main causes of habitual abortion, cervical atresia is congenital and secondary. Congenital cervical atresia is entirely due to local muscular or neurological dysplasia. After pregnancy, fetal development to a certain stage, more than 4 ~ 5 months in pregnancy, will occur natural abortion, labor progress is very fast, often repeated.
Secondary cervical insufficiency is caused by repeated curettage and enlargement, rapid labor, forceps or aspirators for delivery, vaginal manipulation and other damage to the cervix, and after conical cervical resection. Patients generally do not have special discomfort, mainly can cause repeated abortion.
Diagnosis for cervical atresia
Cervical atresia can be diagnosed by:
- gynaecological examination
- colposcopy
- vaginal 4-d colour doppler ultrasound
Treatment of cervical atresia
Congenital cervical atresia is a rare condition, clinically speaking. If the patient’s endometrium is functional, after puberty, there can be periodic abdominal pain due to uterine bleeding, menstrual blood can also pass through the fallopian tube countercurrent-ing into the abdominal cavity, causing pelvic endometriosis. Many doctors recommend surgery to create an artificial vaginal canal through the cervix or they recommend hysterectomy as a means of treatment. . As a high level of surgical expertise is required to conduct complex reconstructive procedures, many clinicians choose hysterectomy as the optimal primary surgical treatment for the malformation. Removal of the uterus is NOT recommended at Antai Hospital as it is unnecessary and can cause absolute infertiltiy.
The conventional treatment methods for cervical atresia on the market are electrocautery, laser and cry-freezing, but these treatments have very immense side effects, which will cause scarring atrophy of the cervix, resulting in cervical stenosis, affecting future pregnancy and natural delivery. Antai Hospital’s doctors treat this condition via miniature 3D hysteroscopic cold knife surgery. After the surgery,a pear-shaped biological scaffold and bio-adhesion barrier membranes are inserted into the uterine cavity for the prevention of adhesions and promotion of healing.
