    A child with a naive uterus will usually have menstruation, but the menstrual flow may be light or the cycle may be irregular. Infantile uterus means that the uterus is underdeveloped and smaller than normal, which may be related to endocrine disorders, chromosomal abnormalities and other factors.

    Patients with naive uterus usually have ovarian function, which can secrete estrogen and progesterone, prompting the periodic shedding of the endometrium to form menstruation. However, due to underdevelopment of the uterus, the endometrial area is smaller, which may lead to less menstrual flow. Some patients may experience ovulation disorders, prolonged menstrual cycles or amenorrhea. If ovarian function is normal, patients with naive uterus may still be fertile, but the probability of pregnancy is lower and the risk of miscarriage is higher.

    A small number of patients with naive uterus may have primary amenorrhea, which is often related to chromosomal abnormalities or congenital ovarian hypoplasia. If there is still no menstrual cramps after puberty, or very little menstrual flow accompanied by severe dysmenorrhea, it is necessary to investigate whether there are more serious developmental abnormalities such as congenital absence of a uterus and primordial uterus. Such patients are usually unable to conceive naturally and require assisted reproductive technology to achieve their fertility needs.

    It is recommended that patients with naive uterus undergo regular gynecological ultrasound and six sex hormone examinations to monitor uterine development. For those with fertility needs, cyclic therapy of estrogen combined with progesterone can be used to promote uterine development under the guidance of a doctor. It is necessary to maintain a regular schedule in daily life, avoid excessive dieting, and perform appropriate pelvic floor muscle exercises to improve pelvic blood circulation.
