Patient's question:
What could cause a bicornuate uterus? Hello! I would like to ask what could cause a bicornuate uterus. My uterus is bicornuate, and in May, I was three months pregnant when I miscarried due to a dead fetus. That's when I discovered I have a bicornuate uterus. What is a bicornuate uterus?Doctor's answer:
A bicornuate uterus has a saddle-shaped fundus with more prominent horns, while the fundus of a uterus with a longitudinal septum has a normal shape. Both conditions can lead to abnormal presentation and due to abnormal uterine cavity shape, as well as primary uterine atony caused by uterine developmental abnormalities, and are prone to postpartum hemorrhage.
