Q50-Q56: Congenital malformations of genital organs
Q51: Congenital malformations of uterus and cervix
Congenital malformations of the uterus and cervix encompass a group of conditions that occur when the uterus or cervix forms incorrectly during fetal development within the mother's womb. These abnormalities are present at birth but can sometimes only become evident in adulthood, especially during pregnancy or a gynecological examination. While the exact causes are not entirely known, they are often associated with genetic influences or exposure to certain environmental factors during early pregnancy. Typical malformations might include a uterus that is unusually shaped or divided, or a cervix that is improperly formed. Symptoms may vary and might include irregular periods, fertility issues, miscarriages, or no symptoms at all. These conditions generally do not progress or worsen over time and are primarily recognized as reproductive system issues.
