What is the cause of bicornuate uterus?

Patient's question:

What is a bicornuate uterus? Hello! I would like to ask what a bicornuate uterus is. One of my friend's daughters-in-law has a bicornuate uterus. She naturally miscarried after being pregnant for over forty days last month. After the doctor's examination, they said it was due to a bicornuate uterus and poor embryo development. Could you please explain what a bicornuate uterus is?

Doctor's answer:

Hello! Your situation is quite special. If you wish to have children, you may consider undergoing a bicornuate uterus fusion surgery.
Recommendation: It is recommended that you consult a doctor based on your specific circumstances and follow their guidance to plan your pregnancy and childbirth. There are no special measures required for pregnancy with a bicornuate uterus. While it is possible to have normal fertility with a bicornuate uterus, pregnancy may increase the risk of miscarriage and preterm labor, which requires attention during the pregnancy. Additionally, women with a bicornuate uterus have a higher rate of cesarean sections.
