Can a woman become pregnant without a uterus?

By Zaira Salvador B.Sc., M.Sc. (embryologist).
Last Update: 02/15/2018

Unfortunately, there is no way for a woman without a uterus to become pregnant, either if it's congenital (MRKH syndrome) or acquired (hysterectomy). The uterus is necessary for the implantation of the embryo. These women may need to turn to surrogacy or adoption to have children.
