Is it difficult to identify a bicornuate uterus with ultrasound?

Patient's question:

Is it difficult to identify a bicornuate uterus through ultrasound? Because I have had multiple ultrasounds done, and they all said my uterus was normal. But this time, the doctor said I have a bicornuate uterus, and this time my bladder is not full. I also had one fallopian tube removed. Could the doctor have misdiagnosed me?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, a normal uterus is a single uterine cavity, while a bicornuate uterus has two uterine cavities. It looks like a ram's horn and can generally be detected through an ultrasound examination. However, a misdiagnosis cannot be completely ruled out, so it is recommended that you have a follow-up check.
