Patient's question:
What is a bicornuate uterus and what causes it? Hello! I would like to ask what a bicornuate uterus is. My friend's daughter-in-law has a bicornuate uterus, and she naturally miscarried after being pregnant for over forty days last month. After the doctor's examination, it was said that she has a bicornuate uterus and the embryo did not develop well. Could you please explain what a bicornuate uterus is?Doctor's answer:
Bicornuate uterus is formed during initial development. Some patients with uterine malformations may have no symptoms at all, and their menstruation, sexual life, pregnancy, and childbirth may also be normal, resulting in lifelong undiagnosis or accidental discovery during physical examinations. However, some patients may have varying degrees of impairment in their reproductive system function, and symptoms may only appear during sexual maturity, marriage, pregnancy, or childbirth.Advice: Considering bicornuate uterus is likely a case of developmental abnormality. Monitor whether your menstrual cycle is normal, pay attention to maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and actively seek professional medical examinations. If necessary, consider surgical intervention to improve the condition.
