Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Bicornuate Uterus: It is formed when the tails of the paramesonephric ducts are mostly fused, the septum has degenerated, resulting in a single cervix, single vagina, and incomplete fusion of the uterine fundus. The uterine shape appears bicornuate, hence the name bicornuate uterus or saddle-shaped uterus.A bicornuate uterus can be classified as either complete or incomplete. Incomplete bicornuate uteri can be corrected through hysteroscopic surgery, while complete bicornuate uteri require laparoscopic correction. The classification of a bicornuate uterus still needs to be confirmed via laparoscopy.
A bicornuate uterus can lead to pregnancy, but the fertility rate may be reduced and the miscarriage rate may be higher due to the uterine malformation. However, some individuals can still have a smooth pregnancy, depending on the elasticity of the uterus after gestation. If the uterus can expand well along with the growth of the embryo, the pregnancy can be maintained. Otherwise, it may result in a miscarriage.
