Hello, I was reading the article from Dr. Danielle Assaf on The Role of laparoscopic-hysteroscopic metroplasty and would like to know if I would be a candidate for it. I'm 33 years old diagnosed with MRKH when I was 16. My Dr. created a neovagina with grafts. He said that my uterus was extremely small and atrophic (but did not remove it or the ovaries) not leaving any opening between the vagina and the uterus. Today I have a boy conceived through a gestational carrier and would love to have another baby... when i read this article the question above pop in my head...that would be another dream come true!!! What do you think?? |

Dear Silvia Unfortunately just Metroplasty is not going to help you in conceiving as Müllerian agenesis is a congenital malformation characterised by a failure from the müllerian ducts to build up, producing a missing uterus and fallopian tubes and variable malformations from the upper portion of the vagina. It is the second most common cause of primary amenorrhoea after gonadal failure. The reason for MRKH is still unknown. Several genes happen to be tested to review the possibility of the syndrome being genetic, but not one factor has yet been identified to become responsible for it. What we can say for certain is the fact that when a fetus grows inside a mother’s uterus, many systems develop, including the the reproductive system, which includes the uterus, vagina, fallopian tubes, and ovaries. This technique is formed throughout the first couple of months of the fetus growing inside a pregnant uterus. With MRKH, the reproductive system begins to develop, but it doesn’t completely finish, so metroplasty siply is not going to help you. However, there are treatments to increase enhanced comfort in sexual intercourse, you will find none that can make pregnancy possible. You will find plans by UK and Swedish doctors for any uterine transplant that would allow these women to carry their very own child, but no transplant has yet prevailed in producing a child. Since ovaries are present, people with this problem can have genetic children through IVF with embryo transfer to a gestational carrier. Some also choose to adopt. In future if any new development will be there in these surgery we will definitely inform you. With regards J.S. Chowhan |

Awesome!! My cousin-in-law has been going thugroh IF and RPL and I was amazed to find out had no support system beyond her husband and doctor. I don't know how I would have made it this far without my on-line support system and things like Resolve. I have tried to share some of this with her, but I think I will try some more. I don't know how lucky I was to have happened upon this world well before I needed the support (back when I thought four months was a long time...) |
