Bicornuate Uterus
A bicornuate uterus is a congenital uterine anomaly where the uterus has two distinct horns instead of a single cavity. This condition occurs during fetal development when the Müllerian ducts fail to fuse completely. Women with a bicornuate uterus may experience complications during pregnancy, such as preterm labor or miscarriage, due to the reduced space for fetal development.
Diagnosis of a bicornuate uterus typically involves imaging techniques like ultrasound or MRI. Treatment options may vary depending on symptoms and reproductive goals, but surgical intervention is sometimes considered to improve pregnancy outcomes. Regular monitoring and care are essential for women with this condition.
