Bicornen uterus - what is it?

The double-breasted uterus is a pathology that can lead to infertility. Anomaly is not common, but to make sure the structure of the body is correct, it is necessary to conduct certain examinations. Deviation consists in the following features: the bicorne uterus is two cavities that connect in the lower part of the organ. There are three types of pathological changes in the uterus:

• Saddle-shaped;
• Incomplete two-way;
• Full two-handedness.

Usually a bicornic uterus, whose ultrasound is performed in order to clarify the features of organ development, is just a slightly deformed normal muscle mass, which has a saddle shape: in the region of the uterine fundus there is a slight depression, similar to the saddle. With this pathology, the horns almost coincide in size. The uterus with complete separation has a divergence of horns at the level of the sacral ligaments. If the anomaly is too pronounced, then it may appear that this body is double in the woman.

Why does such a deviation occur?

Double-horned uterus - what is it: bad heredity or failure in prenatal development? This disease develops during the embryonic period. As a result of the disturbances that occurred during the fusion of the Müllerian ducts, the girl has a bicornic uterus. What this in the future can threaten infertility, a woman needs to think long before she decides to become a mother. Why does such a deviation occur? Most often it occurs under the influence of external factors:

• Intrauterine infection ;
• Disease of a pregnant woman;
• Fetal injury;
• Increase in body temperature in pregnant women;
• Genetic predisposition.

What to do with this diagnosis? If you have found a bicornic uterus as a result of ultrasound, the operation can give a positive result only in the case of minor deviations in the development of the organ. In the case of complete bicorny of the uterus, surgical intervention can lead to infertility.
