What are the Implications for Fertility and Pregnancy?
The impact of congenital anomalies on fertility and pregnancy varies depending on the type and severity of the anomaly. Some women may experience:
- Infertility: Due to abnormalities in the uterus, fallopian tubes, or ovaries. - Recurrent Miscarriages: Structural anomalies of the uterus can increase the risk of pregnancy loss. - Preterm Birth: Certain uterine anomalies can lead to preterm labor and delivery. - Complicated Labor: Anomalies in the vaginal or cervical structures can complicate the labor process.
