Q50: Congenital malformations of ovaries, fallopian tubes and broad ligaments
Q50.6: Other congenital malformations of fallopian tube and broad ligament
If tissue fails to develop properly, defects can occur. The defect originates while developing in the womb.
The uterus or womb sits in the pelvis and is pear-shaped. The narrower part extends downward into the vagina and is called the cervix. When a woman is pregnant, the child grows in her uterus.
The two fallopian tubes go to the right and left of the ovaries towards the womb. They are like tubes and they transport the egg cells from the ovaries to the uterus.
The uterus is surrounded by a membrane. The membrane lies over the uterus like a cloth, and it is anchored to the pelvic wall. This membrane is called the broad ligament of the uterus.
