Patient's question:
Because of an unexpected pregnancy last year, I discovered that I have double vaginas, double cervixes, and double uteruses. During pregnancy, one of the uteruses was pregnant while the other non-pregnant uterus was still bleeding intermittently. The non-bleeding cervix had no opening. So, I would like to ask: At that time, the doctor said it might be necessary to remove one. Is this suggestion feasible? Will the removal affect future fertility? Please provide a detailed explanation if possible. Thank you very much!First question supplement: Can it be avoided without removal? Will it affect future pregnancy and childbirth? How much would it cost approximately? Thank you.
Doctor's answer:
Generally, removing one uterus has a certain impact on fertility, but there is still a high chance of pregnancy. It is recommended to undergo pre-pregnancy testing. Currently, the treatment for uterine malformation, such as a double uterus, involves the electronic hysteroscopic and laparoscopic cold knife fusion technique. The specific surgical plan is as follows: A horizontal incision is made from one uterine horn to the opposite horn, and the muscular wall is halved. The left and right incisions are then sutured together. This procedure has minimal trauma, rapid postoperative recovery, and a short hospital stay. The success rate of delivering a live baby after surgery is 80-95%. It is suggested that you communicate more with your attending physician to alleviate any concerns.
