Uterine hypoplasia is a developmental condition where the uterus remains significantly smaller than average and does not fully develop. This condition can impact a woman's fertility and may affect menstrual cycles, leading to irregularities or amenorrhea. Uterine hypoplasia, also known as an underdeveloped or small uterus, can vary in severity, and while it may not always impact health outside of reproductive concerns, it can be a significant factor in planning for pregnancy.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) approaches uterine hypoplasia not merely as a physical underdevelopment but as a manifestation of underlying imbalances within the body's energy systems. TCM emphasizes the significance of Qi, Blood, Yin, and Yang harmony, and views disorders like uterine hypoplasia through the lens of disharmony and obstruction in these vital energies.
Identifying the precise pattern of imbalance is crucial for TCM practitioners to tailor treatments that address the root causes and promote the body's natural healing processes.
