Patient's question:
What is a bicornuate uterus? Hello! I would like to ask what a bicornuate uterus means. I have been married for over a year and it was not easy to get pregnant. However, I miscarried after being pregnant for two and a half months. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor said I have a bicornuate uterus, that it is a uterine malformation, and that it is prone to miscarriage. I am so heartbrokenDoctor's answer:
Hello, regarding the question of what a bicornuate uterus means, a bicornuate uterus is a type of uterine malformation. This occurs because the tails of the paramesonephric ducts have mostly fused, the septum has degenerated, resulting in a single cervix and a single female reproductive tract. The base of the uterus fails to fuse completely, and the uterine shape appears bicornuate, hence the name bicornuate uterus or saddle-shaped uterus. It is mostly caused by congenital developmental abnormalities and requires surgical correction. Otherwise, it can easily lead to female infertility or miscarriage. The above is the answer to the question of what a bicornuate uterus means. I hope it helps you.
