Cervical hypertrophy
Cervical hypertrophy is often caused by long-term chronic inflammation, leading to cervical congestion, edema, hyperplasia, inflammatory cell infiltration, and thickening of fibrous connective tissue, which results in an enlarged and hardened cervix. Most patients do not have obvious clinical symptoms and are often diagnosed during gynecological examinations.

The female vagina is a muscular tube composed of mucosa, muscle layer, and adventitia. It is highly stretchable, connecting internally to the uterus and externally to the vulva, including the mons pubis, labia majora, labia minora, and clitoris. When irregular white patches appear on the vagina, clitoris, inner surfaces of the labia minora, or labia majora, accompanied by itching or pain that is more pronounced at night, this condition is called vulvar leukoplakia. This disease is most common in menopausal women aged 45 to 50.
View detailsTransverse vaginal septum
Vaginal septum refers to an abnormal development of the urogenital sinus structure during the embryonic period, resulting in a partially or completely obstructed vagina. The septum can occur in the upper or lower segment of the vagina. A septum in the upper segment does not affect sexual life, while a septum in the lower segment does and requires immediate surgery. The main manifestations are hematocolpos or intermittent menstrual blood outflow.
Vaginal septum
A vaginal septum refers to an additional vertical membrane within the vagina, often accompanied by a double uterus, double cervix, and ipsilateral renal hypoplasia. Based on anatomical characteristics, this condition can be divided into two types: Incomplete septum: The anterior end of the septum does not reach the vaginal opening, which may cause difficulty or discomfort during sexual intercourse, and obstruct fetal delivery during childbirth. Complete septum: The anterior end of the septum reaches the vaginal opening, usually without discomfort.

Infantile uterus, also known as uterine hypoplasia, refers to a condition where the uterus has a normal structure and morphology, but the uterine body is smaller in size, and the cervix is relatively longer. The ratio of the uterine body to the cervix is 1:1 or 2:3. Ovarian development is normal. Infantile uterus is a relatively common abnormality in the female reproductive system, often presenting as infertility, accounting for 16% of infertile patients.

Congenital absence of the uterus, also known as congenital uterine agenesis, is a condition caused by certain factors affecting the normal formation and differentiation of the uterus during the fetal period. Congenital absence of the uterus often does not occur in isolation but can be a manifestation of certain syndromes. The most common features include vaginal agenesis and an undeveloped uterus, while the fallopian tubes, ovaries, and overall development are normal. Less common conditions include testicular feminization syndrome, androgen insensitivity syndrome, true hermaphroditism, and gonadal dysgenesis. Congenital absence of the uterus is a relatively common anomaly of the female reproductive system, with an incidence reported abroad to be approximately 1/5,000 to 1/4,000.

Vulvar eczema is a common allergic and pruritic skin disease of the vulva. The main symptoms are significant vulvar redness and swelling, blistering, and intense itching.
View detailsBicornuate uterus
A bicornuate uterus is a congenital uterine anomaly where the two Müllerian ducts fail to fuse completely during early embryonic development, resulting in a uterus with a heart-shaped appearance due to the incomplete fusion of the uterine fundus. The main clinical symptoms include pelvic pain, prolonged bleeding during menarche or other abnormal bleeding, recurrent pregnancy loss, or preterm birth.
View detailsUterus didelphys
Uterus didelphys is a congenital uterine anomaly where the two paramesonephric ducts fail to fuse completely during fetal development, resulting in two separate cervices and two uterine bodies. Most patients also have two vaginas, and each uterus has a single fallopian tube and ovary. Patients are usually asymptomatic and are often diagnosed due to abnormal menstrual bleeding, prolonged menstruation, dysmenorrhea, or during reproductive age due to infertility, miscarriage, abnormal fetal presentation, or premature birth.
