What is a double uterus?

The double uterus is an abnormality in the uterus. Normally difficult to detect due to the lack of symptoms however during pregnancy double uterus reduces the likelihood of natural pregnancy, which greatly affects the health of the pregnancy. Even the fact that the pregnant mother has a double uterus increases the risk of dangerous obstetric accidents for both mother and baby.

1. What is a double uterus like?

The uterus is an indispensable part for women especially during pregnancy, the uterus is the place to feed the fetus. Therefore, abnormalities that occur in the uterus will cause significant effects on the fetus. And among the malformations in the uterus, the double uterus is an abnormality that can make it difficult for women to get pregnant or experience some dangerous complications during pregnancy.

The uterus (baby) is a female genital, a hollow internal organ with an upside-down pear shape. The double uterus (double uterus) is a rare congenital abnormality, typical for uterus abnormalities (uterus malformations).

The double uterus is a uterus with two separate uterus chambers, each of which can lead to the cervical and vaginal. This means that you can have two separate uteruses and two vaginas and two ovulation tubes.

With a pregnant woman with a double uterus, the arterial branches that nourish the fetus will be dispersed, the uterus is narrow, the uterus is not very elastic, it is easy to lead to miscarriage, delayed fetal development or even still life, premature birth.

2. Causes of double uterus

The double uterus is an abnormality in the uterus that occurs when the fetus is still in the womb. The uterus of the fetus is formed during the development of the embryo by the merger of two parallel duc ducs forming a hollow organ called the uterus. If the merger of these two tubes goes smoothly will form a completely normal uterus. If this merger occurs abnormalities will appear the condition of the two-horned uterus or double uterus. The cause of this non-complete merger has not yet been found. Many conjectures that: genetic factors can be one of the causes of double uterus.

People with a double uterus may have a cervical and a vagina, or each uterus may have a separate cervical chamber. In many cases, a thin septum appears along the vagina dividing the vagina into two separate reclinings called a septum uterus.

3. What problems may the double uterus have?

Without medical or obstetric complications, this abnormality in the uterus is usually asymptoatic, making it difficult to recognize. Therefore, the fact that you have a double uterus can only be detected when your obstetrician conducts an examination of your pelvis or you perform prescribed photo tests.

Most women with double uterus still have normal sex lives, pregnancy and childbirth. However, the few people with double uterus face the following obstacles:

For women who are not pregnant, it can lead to:

  • Infertility
  • Abnormal menstruation

During pregnancy, problems such as:

  • abort
  • Post-birth bleeding.
  • Difficult birth: During pregnancy, the uterus contains a raised fetus, the other uterus is only slightly larger than usual. The non-pregnant uterus lies low, which during labor will interfere with the fetal way out, causing difficult births. Therefore, the majority of pregnant women with double uterus will usually have a cesarean section. However, there are still women who have a double uterus but are still born with a vaginal fall if diagnosed as a small pregnancy and the other uterus does not interfere with the fetal way out.
  • Light pregnancy: Normally, for a person 1 uterus will have 2 arteries of the uterus to the blood supply. But in humans with a double uterus, 1 artery of the uterus will supply blood to each uterus. Thus, the amount of blood supplied to the fetus is reduced, so the fetus will be at risk of being underweight.
  • Premature birth: The uterus contains pregnancy in humans with a developed double uterus that is more limited than that of a person with 1 uterus, so it is easy to lead to premature birth.

4. Methods of diagnosing double uterus

After a physical examination, if you suspect you have a double uterus, your doctor will recommend that you take an imaging test to accurately diagnose the abnormality in the uterus. Your doctor will prescribe you to do one of the following tests:

ultrasound

3D ultrasound helps diagnose double uterus
  • Ultrasound :Can be ultrasound through the abdominal wall, ultrasound through vaginal reclining or 3D ultrasound.
  • Sonohogramogram: Is a type of imaging test used to diagnose uterus abnormalities. Sonohogramogram is highly effective in detecting structural abnormalities in the uterus.
  • Mri: Usea field and radio waves to create cross-sectional images inside your body.
  • X-rays of the proboscis are intended to determine the structure and size of the uterus as well as the operation of the proboscis.

5. Methods of treatment of double uterus

  • If there is a double uterus but there are no abnormal signs, you do not need to have surgery.
  • If there is a double uterus and two vaginas, you may have to perform surgery to remove the vaginal divide partition in two reclining. This method can make it easier for you to give birth.
  • Treatments for double uterus malformation can be carried out by the removal of the uterus that does not work well. However, this needs to be carefully evaluated because it is related to end end end of life. In addition, the removal of a uterus chamber can affect the blood supply to the uterus.
  • If you have a double uterus and are pregnant, you need to pay special attention to pregnancy health because of the risk of abnormal pregnancy, fetus developmental delay due to narrow uterus, still still life, premature birth … is quite high. The most common in pregnant women with a double uterus is unfavorable pregnancy status. The unfavorable pregnancy and the location of the non-pregnant uterus lie low, causing compression of the fetal way out through the vaginal reclining, so cesarean section is usually prescribed by the doctor.
