Patient's question:
Medical history: Two years of infertility, normal menstrual cycle.Past treatment and effectiveness: Ultrasound examination, result was a bicornuate uterus.
What help is needed: What is the recommended order of examinations? Should it be checked after the menstrual period or before the menstrual period?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, a bicornuate uterus is a condition where the fusion of the uterine fundus during embryonic development is incomplete, resulting in a situation where each side of the uterus has a horn-like protrusion. This type of uterus is prone to causing miscarriages. Based on your condition, a gynecological examination, hysterosalpingography, pelvic color Doppler ultrasound, and laparoscopy with hysteroscopy can help confirm the diagnosis. Genital organ malformations are often associated with urinary system malformations or lower digestive tract malformations. If necessary, intravenous pyelography or barium enema may be performed. When urinary tract or lower digestive tract malformations are detected, a detailed examination should also be conducted to check for genital organ malformations, including uterine malformations.
