The best treatment
If you have a uterus and don't want to have a baby yet, you don't need treatment or surgery. And if you want to get pregnant or have had many miscarriages many times, you will have surgery to reconstruct the uterus.
But remember, it takes 3 months to get pregnant again. This is to prevent rupture of the uterus during labor. Pregnant women with defects should be checked and monitored regularly. Pregnant mothers are also injected with hormone progesterone.
Doctors will prescribe the hormone progesterone injection to pregnant women as soon as possible
The progesterone injection period is usually done by a doctor in the first few weeks of pregnancy and lasts until 36 weeks. Progesterone injection works to thicken the uterine wall or uterine lining, so it keeps the mother's uterus nourishing the baby for longer. From there, the risk of preterm birth is minimized.
